£40m-rated Chelsea and Newcastle target wants to play for West Ham

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

According to journalist James Nursery, the 20-year-old Colombian international striker will inform Aston Villa that he wants to join West Ham United this summer.

Chelsea and Newcastle United are keen on signing the player as well, but Duran wants to play for Spanish manager Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham might be able to offer him regular first-team football and he should prove to be a quality long-term addition.
