Jhon Duran makes blistering start to life in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr after £72million switch from Aston Villa in January transfer window

Jhon Duran has made an electric start to life in Saudi Arabia following his £72million move to Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in the January transfer window.

Duran, 21, was sold to the Saudi-based side in what came as a shock move to many given that he had impressed under Unai Emery in the first half of the campaign.

Having scored 10 goals across 27 games - 23 of which saw him introduced as a substitute - Duran quickly became regarded as one of the top young strikers in Europe.
