Jhon Duran to step into a new challenge under Jose Mourinho: Reports
Al Nassr are going through a rough patch currently after going trophyless in the previous campaign. Jhon Duran tried to be a ray of hope in the latter stages of the season when he joined Al Nassr in the winter transfer window by scoring 12 goals in 18 games which helped them finish 3rd on the table in the previous campaign. Al Nassr will be hoping for an ideal replacement of Jhon Duran to fill in the gap which will be caused by him leaving the team.
The Villa fans were in disbelief when the Columbian decided to leave the team in the middle of the season in which he was continually winning games for the team. He was proving to be the point of difference after coming on in the second half most of the time and somehow finding ways to dispatch the ball into the back of the net. He scored 12 goals in 29 games and played a major role in helping Aston Villa reach the knockout stages of the Champions League. Jose Mourinho will be happy to have a striker of his quality in the team.
