Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have shared concerns over Joao Felix’s rumoured transfer from Chelsea to Aston Villa. Villa are bracing themselves for a hectic end to the January transfer window, with two of their star forwards potentially leaving.

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been tipped to make a move in January, and Chelsea have been backed to sign the Colombian forward. Having made a name for himself as a super sub at Villa Park, Duran is looking elsewhere to become the main man.

Villa manager Emery was heavily invested in making the Colombia a world-class talent - but a transfer had felt inevitable for months

Duran has agreed personal terms with Al Nassr, and Arriayadiah have claimed that the striker has informed Aston Villa that he wants to join the Saudi Pro League side.

Centre-back Axel Disasi is another Chelsea player currently on Villa’s radar. The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order in west London this season after starring under Mauricio Pochettino last time around.

Aston Villa will consider offers for Jhon Duran amid interest from Arsenal and Chelsea – but only if they receive an astronomical bid. Duran is one of the most sought after strikers in the world right now, with West Ham, PSG and Al Nassr among the teams hoping to sign him this January.

Villa will step up efforts to sign Chelsea playmaker Joao Felix with Jhon Duran close to completing his £75million switch to Saudi Arabia.

Aston Villa are working quickly to find a replacement for Jhon Duran, whose move to Al-Nassr has been given the green light.
