Patrick Vieira wants Arsenal to sign Aston Villa red-hot striker John Duran

Patrick Vieira, who claims that Jhon Duran is “the right player” to help the team advance up the front, has urged Arsenal to consider a transfer move for the striker. Mikel Arteta has chosen to stick with Kai Havertz in the No. 9 position, despite Arsenal reportedly showing interest in a number of well-known forwards throughout the summer, including Dusan Vlahovic, Viktor Gyokeres, and Alexander Isak.

Despite Havertz’s impressive start to the new season, the north London powerhouses are still being linked to prominent attacking players throughout Europe; the most recent name to surface as a top target is 20-year-old Duran of Aston Villa. Arsenal has approached Villa regarding Duran’s potential availability for the January transfer window, according to reports from Duran’s native Colombia.

Arsenal legend praises Aston Villa’s ‘pure’ talent, claiming it can elevate the Gunners to Man City level.

Jhon Duran is the “right player” for Manchester City, according to Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira, who also informed the team that a “pure” striker like Erling Haaland makes “winning games easier.” At the moment, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are the main strikers for Arsenal. Given that the latter played 12 games before eventually scoring or providing an assist this season, the former is currently preferable.

“Is it possible for Arsenal to score goals with a real goal scorer or a fake number nine? Vieira told bettingexpert.com that Havertz has shown promise since the beginning of the season and might take over that position. It is simpler to win games when you have a pure striker like Haaland, as Manchester City has demonstrated. The way [Duran] performed against Bayern Munich was fantastic. His quickness, selflessness, solidity in the air, technical skill, and intelligence in movement make him the ideal player for Arsenal.
