What a load of bollocks! West Ham's new £57million offer for Jhon Duran has been rejected by Aston Villa. The Hammers previously submitted a £40m bid last week, but that was turned down too. It seems like Villa are taking the piss and don't want to sell their star player, who recently extended his contract until 2030.
West Ham's Desperate Attempt to Sign Duran
West Ham are desperate for a striker due to injuries to their main goalscorers, Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio. Fullkrug is out with a substantial thigh injury, while Antonio is recovering from a car accident. The Hammers are in a right state without a proper striker, and they're clutching at straws trying to sign Duran.
Duran's Impressive Form for Villa
Duran has been on fire for Villa this season, scoring 12 goals in all competitions. He's been a key player for Unai Emery's side, and it's no wonder they don't want to let him go. West Ham tried to sign him last summer with a £30million bid plus teenager Lewis Orford, but that offer was laughed off by Villa.
Villa's Firm Stance on Duran
Aston Villa are standing firm and refusing to sell Duran, despite West Ham's repeated attempts to sign him. They've rejected two bids from the Hammers, and it's clear they have no intention of letting their star player leave. Villa are not taking any liberties and are showing West Ham who's boss.
In conclusion, West Ham are in a right mess without a proper striker, and they're getting desperate in their attempts to sign Jhon Duran. But Aston Villa are having none of it and are refusing to budge. It remains to be seen if West Ham will come back with an even bigger offer, but for now, Villa are holding all the cards.
