Unai Emery is prepared to sell, therefore West Ham may have a second opportunity to sign the £18 million attacker from Aston Villa.

Unai Emery is rumored to be prepared to let go of the Aston Villa forward this winter, so West Ham United may get another chance to recruit him.

In the January transfer window, David Moyes and Unai Emery are both eager to bolster his teams at West Ham and Aston Villa, respectively.

With Mohammed Kudus away at the AFCON with Ghana for the next four or five weeks and Michail Antonio out until the beginning of next month due to injury, the Hammers are in dire need of a top-tier attacker.

Jhon Duran, a past target of Moyes, is one player who may be available this month as Emery is reportedly prepared to let go of the 20-year-old striker during the January transfer window (Daily Mail).

The Colombian striker was courted by West Ham to move to the London Stadium before signing a contract with Villa in January 2023 for an estimated £18 million (BBC).

Unai Emery is prepared for sale. According to rumours, Emery is prepared to cash in on Duran, therefore West Ham should move quickly to get the Aston Villa player.

The 20-year-old Colombian international is a true talent who seems to have all the makings of a winner on the greatest stage in the world. Although his trade is center forward, he can also play left flank.

In his final season with the Chicago Fire, Duran had eight goals and six assists in thirty appearances (Transfermarkt).

In 33 appearances for Villa, he has only managed four goals and one assist, although in those 687 minutes, he has only appeared in six occasions and never received a run of starts (Transfermarkt).

Duran has truly elite skill, therefore don’t let his dismal record deceive you. He also fits Moyes’s approach well.

The South American moves at a breakneck speed and exhibits remarkable strength for a young athlete.

It is clear that he is still quite unpolished and undeveloped. However, it’s evident from certain players that they possess the necessary skills. Furthermore, there is definitely something unique about the Colombian.

I believe Duran would be a fantastic signing for West Ham in the January transfer window, and Moyes ought to move quickly as Unai Emery seems ready to let go of the Aston Villa star.
