Jhon Duran en-route to London ahead of medical for new club

He has agreed a €77million move away from Aston Villa

The Aston Villa striker agreed yesterday to a move to a new club, as per a report from Fabrizio Romano, with a medical in London set for today.

The Colombian was previously subject to a rejected bid from West Ham United but has now agreed terms with the new club for a fee of around €77m.

Now, he will undergo a medical ahead of the proposed move to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, as per The Athletic.

Fellow teammate Ollie Watkins was also the subject of a £60m reported bid from Arsenal on Wednesay, which was quickly rebuffed.

Villa were said to be frustrated at the offer coming just before their final Champions League league stage clash versus Celtic tonight, in which they currently lead.

After Aston Villa's Champions League win last night, Unai Emery said:

“If Jhon Durán is leaving it is good for us, because they are paying good money… we have developed good players in two years and getting a good offer”.

“I told you after West Ham, I want Jhon here. But what does he want?”.

Fabrizio Romano has said that Al Nassr will announce Durán's signing on Thursday.
