Jamie Carragher has insisted that Aston Villa should allow Jhon Duran to leave the club this month.
After looking prepared to get away from Villa Park this summer, they finally remained in West Midlands and enjoyed a prolific start of the campaign.
The 21 -year -old has scored 12 goals of 28 appearances this season and is the top scorer in all competitions for the side of the Onai Emery.
However, despite its impressive form, Duran has found that the beginnings of the first team are difficult to obtain throughout the campaign, and Emery often prefers Ollie Watkins as the solitary striker in a 4-2-3-1.
The uncertainty surrounding Duran's future has led to the interest of rival clubs, and West Ham recently had an offer of £ 57 million rejected by Villa, since it was considered not high enough to deserve serious consideration.
According to the reports, the Saudi Pro League Al-Nassr team has also pointed to a movement for Duran, with the striker seen as the perfect fulfillment for Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in the three strikers of the club.

Carragher added that Duran's dynamics with his front partner Ollie Watkins is not working
Speaking ahead of Villans' clash with West Ham on Sunday, Carragher said Villa would be prudent to take advantage of Duran whenever a club can reach its assessment.
“I would sell to Jhon Duran, and it probably goes against the grain of what most football clubs would,” said former Liverpool defender in Sky Sports.
'Normally in that situation, you would probably sell the oldest, Ollie Watkins, because you think this guy will be here for a long time, but I would try to get 10 million additional of them.
'I think it looks like a great player, but I think sometimes when people talk about big squads, sometimes players also need to know they were playing.
'You always remember Tottenham, they could never find a striker when they had Harry Kane, because what striker, well, will wait for Harry Kane?
'I don't think you are getting the best of Ollie Watkins knowing that Jhon Duran will come with 15/20 minutes each game, but he has to take it with 15 or 20 minutes to go in each game because it will be unhappy.
'I only think you can have players who are almost too good in the same position. A player needs to know what man is. I think it's Ollie Watkins for me.
He continued: I think you could get good money for John Duran, it's not as if Ollie Watkins is over, he is still 3 or 4 years at this level.
“I know, the villa fans could say:” No, she is a great young striker “, but I think the dynamics will not work. They cannot play together, get their 60/70 million and reinvest it in another place of the team .
