Reports have emerged suggesting that Unai Emery will be willing to let Aston Villa striker, Jhon Duran leave on loan in January.
In January this year, Aston Villa signed Jhon Duran from Chicago Fire in a deal worth a reported £17 million.
It was clear that the young Colombian was rated highly by Unai Emery as he wanted him involved in the squad immediately.
This season he scored his first goals for the Villans with him adding to his tally against Everton, Crystal Palace and Legia Warsaw.
Despite some good performances, the youthful forward appears to have frustrated his manager who has left him out of squads recently.
As a result of this, it appears a loan move may be on the cards.
Jhon Duran to leave on loan?
Duran was included in the matchday squad against Fulham following missing out against Luton Town, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.
It had been suggested by Emery that he was missing due to a toe infection. There appeared to be more to the story as the Colombian removed any trace of the Villans from his once-busy social media accounts.
When he signed for the club he became a sort of cult hero for his fun Instagram live streams and attitude towards the fans.
That has recently diminished as he has been very quiet in the public eye and hasn’t featured very much on the pitch.
He received four minutes off the bench against AZ Alkmaar, but that is as much as he has played since early October.
As a result of all these things, Football Insider has reported that Emery will look to move the Colombian away on loan.
This may leave the door open for the Villans to bring in another striker like they have been said to be looking at recently.
With Duran barely getting a minute right now, it does make sense to let him leave and help him develop.
