Unai Emery’s favorite young player, a 19-year-old, is highly anticipated by Aston Villa.
After joining the team in January, young attacker Johan Duran has had extremely high expectations from Aston Villa fans.
During his time at Villa Park, Johan Lange had an impact on the team, according to a report from The Athletic.
This week, it was revealed that Lange would start working for Tottenham Hotspur as their new technical director on November 1.
Lange was swiftly added to Scott Munn’s squad after Munn was appointed as the club’s new chief football officer.
It indicates that there has been ample time to consider the work the 43-year-old Dane did while working for Aston Villa.
The news that Lange would begin working for Tottenham Hotspur as their new technical director on November 1 was made public this week.
Scott Munn quickly recruited Lange to his team after being named the new chief football officer of the organization.
It shows that enough time has passed for people to carefully assess the work the 43-year-old Dane did while employed by Aston Villa.
The likes of Danny Ings, Bertrand Traore, and Morgan Sanson, however, are challenging to portray favorably.
Jhon Duran ended up being one of his final acquisitions for Aston Villa, and expectations are extremely high for the young man.
With his transfer to West Ham, Ings has moved up the club’s pecking order.
His goal against Crystal Palace, his first in the Premier League, will likely be a contender for goal of the year.
Villa has high hopes for Duran
According to the The Athletic article, Lange labored ‘very hard’ to lure Duran from Chicago Fire to Villa.
Given that he was almost unknown outside of Colombia and Major League Soccer, the deal, which ended up costing roughly £18 million, prompted some questions.
However, they go on to claim that given Duran’s enormous potential, Villa have “high hopes” for him.
When the teenager scored his first goal against Everton, Emery praised him and said, “How we’re playing, we want to add him trying to support, trying to demand of him more and more. He gave a very good goal today, but there is still much to work on with him.
“He must partner with Ollie Watkins as our striker, and we must be competitive with those players. His influence was really dazzling today.
Duran is currently among the league’s most accurate attackers, earning the respect of his colleagues this year as well.
He has a fantastic role model to learn from in Ollie Watkins, and soon enough he might be striving to start in the league rather than simply the Europa Conference League.
