ASTON VILLA ace Jhon Duran took social media by storm amid strong transfer links with West Ham.
Duran, 20, amassed a total of eight goals in 37 appearances last season but couldn’t beak into Unai Emery‘s starting line-up due to Ollie Watkins‘ stunning performances.
That led to intense transfer interest from the Hammers and the striker has appeared keen on that move in his bid for more first-team football.
The Colombia international fuelled the ongoing speculation on social media with a live video suggesting he could be on his way to East London.
Duran looked at the camera and crossed his arms in a manner that looked completely similar with West Ham‘s Irons gesture.
Fans were stunned as they stormed the comments’ section with some convinced the Colombian just issued a come-and-get-me plea.
One West Ham supporter tweeted: “Jhon Duran is our [Marko] Arnautovic 2.0
“It’ll probably end in tears, but bring on this s**thouse causing chaos.”
Another posted: “Oh dear!”
A third wrote: “Not sure about him.”

This fan said: “Very bad look if he doesn’t sign and stays at Villa.”
And that Villa fan stated: “Take him. I’m begging at this point.”
According to the Evening Standard, West Ham had an offer in excess of £30million rejected by Villa during the summer transfer window.
The Hammers are considering an improved bid for Duran, whom the Villans value at £40m.
The centre-forward also attracted interest from Chelsea this summer but Enzo Maresca’s side appears unwilling to meet his valuation.
