Huge interest. Aston Villa have rejected a VERY HIGH number of offers for their forward

The summer transfer window has been a busy one for Aston Villa, as the Birmingham-based club have faced an avalanche of offers for their main star.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Villans received as many as forty offers for striker John Duran in the summer. As we understand, all of them were rejected, as the Colombian ended up staying at Villa Park.

Nor did head coach Unai Emery, who believes in his talent and wants to help develop it, want to let him go. According to Aston Villa, Durand has the potential to become one of the best strikers in the world in the coming year.

Among the mass of offers can be highlighted West Ham, which intended to rent the Colombian with the right to buy. Chelsea have also shown interest in him, even agreeing personal terms for Duran's stay at Stamford Bridge.
