Arsenal eyeing shock move for Colombian striker?

Arsenal could make a shock approach to sign Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran during the January transfer window, according to Fichajes.

The Gunners were widely tipped to sign a centre-forward during the summer, but they ended up without making a new acquisition.

Kai Havertz has fared well as the main striker this campaign, but the Gunners need someone who can provide fierce competition up front.

Gabriel Jesus has looked a lost figure in the number nine role and Fichajes claim that the Gunners could spend big on a marksman this winter.

Duran has emerged as a top target for them amid his exceptional form for the Villans. He has seven goals from 12 competitive games for them.

The 20-year-old has largely played second fiddle to Ollie Watkins for the starting role, but he has been exceptional with goals off the bench.

Villa recently committed him to a new long-term contract, but reports claim that they could be prepared to sell him for £75 million this winter.
