Chelsea’s January transfer activity could take a new direction as Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran becomes a viable target. With Villa needing defensive reinforcements following injuries to Tyrone Mings and Pau Torres, the situation presents an opportunity for Chelsea to negotiate a deal. Talks could involve Axel Disasi joining Villa, while Duran’s move would help bolster Chelsea's attacking options amid Nicolas Jackson’s struggles.
- Chelsea’s Striker Hunt: With Nicolas Jackson struggling for consistency, Chelsea is considering Duran as a solution to strengthen their attack.
- Villa’s Defensive Crisis: Aston Villa is in dire need of defensive options, creating an opportunity for a player exchange involving Axel Disasi.
- Potential Swap Deal: While not a direct swap, negotiations could see Chelsea and Villa working out a deal that benefits both clubs.
- Duran’s Situation: The Colombian international has played second-fiddle to Ollie Watkins at Villa, potentially making him open to a move for more game time.
- Financial Feasibility: Chelsea have the financial capacity to make the deal happen, possibly offsetting costs with a loan fee or conditions tied to the Disasi deal.
