Colombian expert Gerbeaud: Man Utd, Liverpool target Duran raw but inspired

Colombian football expert Pierre Gerbeaud says Chicago Fire superkid Jhon Duran can play in Europe.

Duran is being watched by Manchester United, Liverpool and Olympique Marseille.

Gerbeaud told FootballClubdeMarseille: "He's a left-hander, very good with his head, he's quite tall. Imposing, very swift too. He can play in pivot, back to goal and serve his teammates. He also likes to have space, to go deep. With his physique, he manages to hold the defenders well. He has a good shot, quite powerful. In terms of ball control, checks, it's not always stuck to the foot but hey, it takes work.

“He likes to take depth, take space. He also has good passing quality. He has a lot of assists and it's not a pass in front of the goalkeeper. It's often well inspired, very interesting where he manages to put it in the right place for his teammate."
