‘Out for several weeks’: £18m player is out injured, will stop Chelsea moving for him today, fans disappointed!

Jhon Duran, a striker for Aston Villa, is not anticipated to be pursued by Chelsea today.

Although journalist Nathan Gissing has claimed on X that Chelsea will not sign Jhon Duran as a replacement due to an injury that is expected to keep him “out for several weeks,” Armando Broja may leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes tonight.

In the event that Broja does decide to leave, Gissing has also ruled out the Blues acquiring another striker.

Prior to his injury, Duran had not made a single start in the Premier League this year.

Even so, he has managed to score a few goals despite Unai Emery ignoring him.

Jhon Duran is not anticipated to be acquired by Chelsea anymore

We don’t believe that the decision by Chelsea to not pursue Duran will disappoint many supporters of the team.

As previously stated, the 20-year-old is hurt. He was acquired by Villa from Chicago Fire for £18 million (BBC Sport) during the previous January transfer window.
Furthermore, he is still very young and hasn’t exactly lit up the Premier League since coming. In the end, it’s unlikely that the Colombian would have made much of an improvement to Chelsea.

That being said, Mauricio Pochettino will undoubtedly require an additional body if Broja departs. Given that Christopher Nkunku is constantly getting hurt, will Nicolas Jackson and Nkunku really be sufficient? Although Cole Palmer can also play as a false nine, the Blues now appear prepared to end the season with just those two forward options. Probably not.
