In the latest transfer news, three promising young players are making waves in the football world. Manchester United’s Dan Gore is set to leave Old Trafford on loan in search of regular game time.
Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran is drawing interest from West Ham United, but his future at Villa Park could depend on the club’s pursuit of Middlesbrough’s Morgan Rogers. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Jonny Castro is reportedly attracting attention from Greek side PAOK. Let’s take a closer look at each player’s situation.
Dan Gore: Manchester United’s Rising Star
19-year-old Dan Gore, a highly-rated midfielder, joined Manchester United’s academy from Burnley in 2018. He has made two senior appearances for the Red Devils this season and has captained the club’s Under-19s in three UEFA Youth League games. However, in order to gain regular game time, Gore is set to join Port Vale on loan. Several clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, have shown interest in the young talent, but Port Vale has emerged as the likely destination for him.
Jhon Duran: Aston Villa’s Striker on West Ham’s Radar
20-year-old Jhon Duran, a promising striker, currently plays for Aston Villa. West Ham United recently failed with an approach to sign Duran, as Villa manager Unai Emery wants to keep him as backup to Ollie Watkins. However, if Aston Villa succeeds in their pursuit of Middlesbrough’s Morgan Rogers, the club’s stance on Duran could change. Duran, who has also been linked with Chelsea, AC Milan, and Inter Milan, is yet to start a Premier League game for Villa but has made 26 substitute appearances and scored four goals.
Jonny Castro: Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Defender on PAOK’s Radar
29-year-old Jonny Castro, a reliable defender for Wolverhampton Wanderers, is facing an uncertain future at the club. Following a training ground incident in December, Jonny has been banished from the senior setup until the start of February. Greek side PAOK has expressed interest in signing him and is currently in talks with Wolves. If a permanent transfer cannot be agreed upon, PAOK is open to signing Jonny on loan, although he may have to take a pay cut to make the move to Greece. Wolves value Jonny at around £2.5m.
