Duran has netted four times in the Premier League this term, with all of those goals coming 🍰from the bench.

Last week, he grabbed his first Champions League 🦂goal, converting with an audacious lob over Manuel Neuer to hand Vil💞la a memorable 1-0 win over Bayern Munich.

No player t🉐o have scored at least three goals in the Premier League this season has a better minutes-per-goal ratio than Duran (46), who has also o🍸verperformed his 2.06 expected goals (xG).

Duran was on🌳 the verge of leaving Villa over the summer, with both Chelsea and West Ham interested, but he ultimately stayed put.

Thಞe club have now moved to secure the 20-year-old's future, and Duran has signed a deal to keep him at Villa Park until 2030.

Duran was unable to wield his usual influence from the b♛ench as Vill♏a drew 0-0 with Manchester United on Sunday, seeing Unai Emery's team head into the international break in fifth place.
