Is Duran to Arsenal a win? They compare numbers and ask to sign now

It’s hard to ask a promising 20-year-old player to keep his feet on the ground when 40 teams are following in his footsteps. Who, of the five senses, has that ability?

Here’s what they expect from Jhon Jader Durán across Europe, as they talk about Chelsea, West Ham, Milan, United… everyone wants the sensational Premier League striker!

The performance of the Colombian at the beginning of the season cannot be disputed: 6 goals, 4 in the Premier League, in the games he has at Aston Villa. Of course, Colombia also shines in the National Team as it comes off scoring in the 4-0 win against Chile in the qualifiers. Total motivation.

Time for a change?

That’s why many are starting to look closely at Aston Villa’s commitment, which has just been renewed until 2030, in a move that some interpret as a decision to keep him for the future, but some another dubious as there may already be a million. -dollar offer and that the signing would only improve the income of the Villains, who trusted him and signed him for 18 million euros from the Chicago Fire of the MLS.

Given what has been seen in the market, both options are possible. Indeed, the latter is gaining strength as Monchi himself, Aston Villa’s sporting director, has admitted that the exit rumors in the last summer window about moves to Chelsea and West Ham were due to the “want to play more” striker.

That has not changed and that is what is fueling the Prime Minister’s strong rumor of a bomb, signing up to 80 million euros for the mighty Arsenal.

The voices in England agree and even some experts want not to wait until the middle of 2025 but to go for it now: “He has that good presence. I would risk it, it looks like the real deal. What I’m looking for. because people are hungry, and he has that… As for the greats, Arsenal don’t have a great 9,” asked former United striker Dwight Yorke, who scored 123 goals in the Premier League at co- least.

Arsenal, a dream destination

And rightly so because just as Arsenal lack a true striker, a finisher with a fearsome presence in the competitive area, the Colombian is not finding and is unlikely to find in the short term the possession of he wants, because for Emery. number one is and Watkins will be there. It seems, of course, to win.

The question now is whether Arteta’s team is the best team for Durán to achieve his goals and be of no doubt. The answer is Yes. It promises not only competition for local titles but also the Champions League in most seasons or European competition in the worst case.

What is the problem? If anything, it will be a doubt, not really an obstacle: Arteta is a team that works like clockwork, with long-term contracts in force and pledges of loyalty from the manager to several of the his figures.

That’s why we have to see, in the comparisons that are always graphic although hateful, if this is the final destination for talent with the projection of the Antioquian.

If it is with numbers, again yes. Compared to Havertz, the usual starter, and Trossard, the young striker competes: the first has 15 in all of 2024, the second has 13 and the last 10, but in 35, 34 and 27 games respectively. Everyone has played more than the Aston Villa gem, except for Gabriel Jesus, who is a famous substitute and has only one goal.

As an assist, Havertz has 7, 1 for Trossard and 5 for Gabriel Jesus. Then Jhon Jader passes empty and even misses key passes as well. But in terms of minutes to produce goals, he surpasses them all: the German has 134, the Belgian has 125, the Brazilian has 155 and be careful: only 89 for Colombia. And obviously in the goal as well: he has 49 percent compared to 47 for Havertz, 42 for Trossard and 21 for Gabriel Jesus.

The question remains: is Arsenal the best destination for Durán? There are. The point is, as Yorke said, “we have a real gem, he’s different from the rest.” That makes him the main character. Wherever he is…
