Unai Emery is impressed with what Jhon Duran is doing at Aston Villa

Unai Emery is impressed with what Jhon Duran is doing at Aston Villa

Aston Villa are off to a great start this season, with Unai Emery continuing his good work from last season.

The Midlands club are comfortable in 5th place in the league, and two wins in two Champions League games have given them a great start in their return to Europe’s elite competition.

Their recent Champions League win against Bayern Munich gave their rivals a signal that they can beat any team on their day and should not be taken lightly.

Villa’s star this season was striker Jhon Duran, who was strongly linked with leaving the club.

Duran has scored goals in the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup this season, showing his stunning form for Emery’s side.

According to TBR Football, Emery is impressed with the striker’s work rate and training intensity.

Not only his goals, but also his attitude in training won the heart of the Villa manager.

Despite not being given a starting role at the club, Duran maintained a positive attitude and continued to perform well when given the opportunity.

Aston Villa wants to keep Jhon Duran at the club

The club has no intention of selling the player after his excellent form this season.

Chelsea is still interested in the Villa striker’s services, but Emery’s team, which is currently in 6th place in the Champions League table ahead of Manchester and Arsenal, is not thinking about letting their star leave the club.

There were questions about Duran over the summer as to whether he would be happy with a substitute role, but the striker responded to all these criticisms in the best possible way, scoring goals on the pitch and giving his all in training.
