Club want to provide competition for Nicolas JacksonBenjamin Sesko expected to stay with RB Leipzig
Aston Villa are expected to demand £40m for Jhon Durán if Chelsea formalise their interest in the Colombia striker.
Villa are open to selling the 20-year-old and there have been talks over him being included as part of a deal for Conor Gallagher. Chelsea are asking for at least £50m for Gallagher, whose contract expires next year, and the midfielder’s future remains up in the air.
