Chelsea continue search for a new striker

Chelsea has been looking for a new striker, and they failed to acquire Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, while their interest in Victor Osimhen has waned.

However, Chelsea have continued their search for a new striker to compete with Nicholas Jackson. According to rumors, it is apparent that Chelsea has shifted their attention to Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. One local source has also suggested that Villa and Chelsea have agreed on a sum of around €50 million for the striker.

Guillermo Arango of Win Sports TV wrote on his X page late yesterday night: "Chelsea and Aston Villa have reached an understanding to sign Jhon Jáder Durán. It would cost around 50 million euros. They are now discussing contract terms with the striker.

Duran has only started three matches since signing for Aston Villa in January 2023, indicating that Unai Emery does not rate him.

There is no question that Duran has a lot of talent and might become a great attacker. However, Chelsea's decision to spend the equivalent of £42 million for an inexperienced and raw talent is nothing short of insane.

We have to wait and see if this occurs, but there is a lot of buzz about this topic, and it appears like the Blues is attempting to sign Duran.
