Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana has lauded the contributions of striker Jhon Duran, describing him as a “joker” in the dressing room. Duran’s impressive performances off the bench have been instrumental in Villa’s recent successes, including their 2-1 victory over Leicester City.

Onana praised Duran’s ability to make a significant impact on the game, stating: “The substitutes played a huge role in the game, and Duran did it again. He’s a great guy to have around, always happy and bringing a positive energy to the team.”

Pundit Tony Cascarino also commended Duran’s performances, noting: “Jhon Duran is proving to be a valuable asset for Aston Villa. His clinical finishing and ability to score crucial goals have been impressive, and he will undoubtedly play a key role in the team’s success this season.”

With Ollie Watkins still finding his form, Duran’s contributions have been vital to Villa’s attacking prowess. As the team prepares for a busy schedule of Champions League fixtures, Duran’s impact will be crucial in helping Villa navigate the challenges ahead.
