Jhon Duran
In the transfer window, West Ham and Aston Villa were involved in negotiations to sign Jhon Duran. Duran was willing to join West Ham for more playing time in the Premier League.
Also, his agent even expressed his optimism on Duran to join the Hammers in the summer. However, Aston Villa remained firm on their £40 million demand and rejected West Ham's offer.
Thus, Duran will most likely stay at Aston Villa this season and can play some minutes against West Ham in the first match.
