Despite recent transfer activities at West Ham United, Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran is still showing strong interest in a potential move to the London Stadium, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Even though the Hammers have already secured the services of Niclas Fullkrug this summer, Duran is reportedly eager to join the club. However, the financial implications of signing both Duran and Fullkrug may prove to be a stumbling block for West Ham.
While reports suggest that West Ham have not completely given up on signing the young Colombian forward, the likelihood of a deal being struck appears to be decreasing. With the club having made several signings already, it seems unlikely that they will be able to make a substantial offer for Duran.
The focus for West Ham seems to be more towards defensive reinforcements, as manager Julen Lopetegui looks to strengthen his backline for the upcoming season. Unless there are significant departures within the squad, it seems Duran’s move to West Ham may remain in doubt.
Nevertheless, the unpredictability of the transfer window means that a potential move to West Ham cannot be completely ruled out just yet. The situation may change rapidly, so fans will have to wait and see if Duran will eventually make the switch to the London Stadium.
