Jhon Durán Signs New Long-Term Deal At Aston Villa After Blistering Start To The Season.
Aston Villa forward Jhon Durán has officially signed a new long-term contract with the club, solidifying his future at Villa Park. This move follows a summer of speculation, with Durán being linked to Chelsea and West Ham before both deals collapsed. Aston Villa had verbally agreed in August to provide the Colombian striker with a new contract, which includes a significant salary increase, recognising his impressive contributions on the pitch.
Since the beginning of the 2024/25 season, the 21-year-old has been in exceptional form, scoring six goals in nine appearances across all competitions. Despite only starting once, Durán has emerged as a key player for Unai Emery’s side, often making an impact off the bench. Notably, his goals have helped secure victories over Premier League rivals Everton and West Ham, as well as an unforgettable 1-0 win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Durán’s performances have earned him the title of one of Europe’s best substitutes, with a goal every 49.5 minutes played, making him a highly efficient option for Villa. The new contract extends his stay at the club, ensuring Aston Villa will continue to benefit from his sharp attacking abilities.
