Gary Lineker and Micah Richards have shared concerns over Joao Felix’s rumoured transfer from Chelsea to Aston Villa. Villa are bracing themselves for a hectic end to the January transfer window, with two of their star forwards potentially leaving.

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been tipped to make a move in January, and Chelsea have been backed to sign the Colombian forward. Having made a name for himself as a super sub at Villa Park, Duran is looking elsewhere to become the main man.

Duran has agreed personal terms with Al Nassr, and Arriayadiah have claimed that the striker has informed Aston Villa that he wants to join the Saudi Pro League side.

Centre-back Axel Disasi is another Chelsea player currently on Villa’s radar. The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order in west London this season after starring under Mauricio Pochettino last time around.

The deal for the Colombian star is ‘expected to rise significantly with bonuses given the “huge money” available to clubs in Saudi Arabia’ with ‘the fee has been described as “too good to turn down” both for Villa and Duran, and he is set to officially become an Al-Nassr player in the coming days.’
