Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has caught the attention of Chelsea, while there are rumors of Armando Broja potentially moving to Wolves.

In the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Manchester City at Villa Park on December 6, 2023, all eyes were on Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. However, it seems that Duran’s lack of game time under manager Unai Emery has left him frustrated, and Chelsea may take advantage of this situation.

According to The Mirror, Chelsea is considering making a move for Duran as they search for striking reinforcements. This potential transfer could also prompt the departure of another Villa forward, Armando Broja, who has caught the interest of Wolves.

Duran, who joined Villa from Chicago Fire a year ago, has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup due to the presence of Ollie Watkins. With Chelsea in need of a new striker, Broja might be tempted to seek game time elsewhere if Duran arrives at the club.

Wolves, who have been linked with West Ham’s Danny Ings, are now monitoring Broja as well. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Napoli and Milan, and with Christopher Nkunku injured and Nicolas Jackson at AFCON, he could potentially receive more opportunities to prove himself.

Meanwhile, Marseille has reportedly had an offer rejected by West Ham for their playmaker Said Benrahma. The French club wanted a loan deal, but West Ham is looking for a permanent transfer to offload the Algerian winger. This move would allow West Ham to strengthen their attacking options while also boosting their budget.

In another transfer update, Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon is set to undergo a medical at Brentford ahead of completing a loan deal. Reguilon recently returned to Spurs from a loan spell at Manchester United and now looks set to move to Brentford for the remainder of the season. This move comes as Brentford’s first-choice left-back Rico Henry is currently sidelined with an ACL injury.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, is planning a clearout in order to address their financial performance in recent years. The club is facing potential sanctions and is determined to show the league that they are taking the rules seriously. Forest aims to cut their spending this month by offloading fringe players to lower their wage bill. Any signings will be budgeted for by cuts to the existing squad, with a focus on bringing in a forward and a winger.

Players such as Orel Mangala, Joe Worrall, Scott McKenna, Andrew Omobamidele, Felipe, Serge Aurier, and Ethan Horvath could be offloaded this month, either on loan or permanently. The loans of Nuno Tavares and Divock Origi, signed from Arsenal and AC Milan respectively, will also be reviewed towards the end of the window.

Overall, the January transfer window is shaping up to be an interesting one, with potential moves involving Chelsea, Aston Villa, Wolves, Marseille, West Ham, Tottenham, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments as clubs look to strengthen their squads and make necessary adjustments.
