Luis Diaz is a BIG fan of his 21 year-old Colombian compatriot Jhon Duran 👀🇨🇴

 

Luis Díaz has heaped praise on his 21-year-old compatriot, Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán, recognizing his immense potential and current form:

🎙️ "From the moment I met him, watched him play, and saw his qualities, I knew he had what it takes. I said, ‘If this boy sets his mind to it, he can achieve greatness, even make history in his role. He has the potential to be the best striker.’

"It’s fantastic to see him thriving, shining in a spectacular league. I’m genuinely happy for him. We’ve shared a lot in the national team—he’s calm, receptive, and willing to learn. He’s still in the process of developing like any young player, but he’ll only get better, scoring more goals and bringing pride to our country. He truly deserves all the success he’s enjoying."

Durán’s remarkable form under Unai Emery at Aston Villa—12 goals and game-changing performances off the bench—has solidified his status as a rising star in football.
