00:00Aston Villa are reportedly furious about the timing and details of West Ham United's alleged
00:07bid for striker John Duran.
00:09The Hammers submitted a £57m offer for the 21-year-old, though Villa sources contest
00:16the figure, insisting it was significantly lower and reiterating that Duran is untouchable
00:21this January.
00:23Villa's frustration also stems from the timing of the bid, which either arrived well before
00:29the report surfaced or coincided inconveniently with their Champions League preparations against
00:35Monaco.
00:36Duran has been in sensational form this season, netting 12 goals in just 986 minutes across
00:43all competitions.
00:45His shoot-on-sight mentality has produced stunning strikes against Everton, Bayern Munich
00:50and RB Leipzig.
00:51Though competition with Oli Watkins remains fierce, Duran has proven vital to Villa's
00:56success under Unai Emre.
