Jhon Duran is excited about the possibility of proving himself at Chelsea if the Blues are still interested in the Aston Villa striker.
The Colombian striker is happy at Villa but it turns out that he needs to move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are sure to strike a deal with Villa for the 20-year-old, if Duran is their striker for the summer.
Duran believes he would be the best option for Chelsea, either as part of the club’s wider vision or as part of new head coach Enzo Maresca’s strategy.
The former Chicago Fire frontman would appreciate working alongside Nicolas Jackson, either as a teammate or as a competitor.
Duran scored 8 in the 2023-24 season at Villa, having made a £14. 75m move from the United States in January 2023.
Chelsea are unlikely to trade deals for Duran, but Villa are interested in a number of Blues players this summer.

The Blues’ bosses are believed to have a good relationship with their Villa counterparts, however, the solution won’t be difficult.
Villa is the serious suitor of Chelsea’s English midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The Chelsea academy graduate is highly sought after by Villa manager Unai Emery and the Birmingham club to push to keep him away from Stamford Bridge.
Gallagher is keen to stay at Chelsea, however, having made good progress to Maurico Pochettino, who captained the Blues 30 times in the season that just ended.
