The Premier League’s most prolific shooter this season is now a target for Chelsea
The unexpected packages in the Premier League have a promising young striker in Jhon Duran, who is only 20 years old. At Villa Park, though, he is filling in as Ollie Watkins’ backup for the time being.
According to X, journalist Nathan Gissing said on Monday that Chelsea had considered Duran as a possible substitute for the No. 9 position in the near future.

Despite starting every one of his fourteen Premier League games this season as a substitute, the youthful striker still has one remarkable statistic.
Duran has been absolutely sensational this season, averaging 6.2 shots per 90 minutes for the league. He is now the division leader as a result.
According to FotMob, the Premier League had the highest shot-per-90-minute average this year:Jhon Duran, wanted by ChelseaNaturally, Duran’s shots per 90 minutes are based on a very small sample. Hearing that he is the only player in the league to shoot on location is a breath of fresh air.
We’re still holding out hope that Chelsea may seek out a center forward with a history of prolific goal scoring. At this very moment, it is what Mauricio Pochettino’s side is pleading for.
The teenage forward from Villa, Duran, has to find a new home where he can get consistent playing time.
Chelsea has already invested too much in nurturing new talent, but he has the potential to become a major star in the future.
