Still, it looks like bad news for Chelsea and Arsenal, as Duran will instead commit his future to Villa for a while longer.
The statement from his club said:
Aston Villa are delighted to announce that Jhon Durán has signed a new contract with the club until 2030.
The 20-year-old has been in brilliant form at the start of this season, scoring six goals, including Wednesday night’s only goal which sealed a famous victory over German giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
He has also contributed winning goals against West Ham, Leicester and Everton, the last of which was a spectacular long-range strike.

Arsenal are perhaps in less desperate need of a striker like Duran, although one imagines Mikel Arteta could do well to replace Gabriel Jesus and at least have better cover available for the in-form Kai Havertz.
