Prem battle for Chicago Fire attacker Jhon Duran widens

The Premier League battle for Chicago Fire attacker Jhon Duran is expanding.

West Ham and Everton have jumped into the chase with Manchester United and Liverpool for rising star Duran.

Both clubs have made contact with the powerful Colombian striker about joining in a deal in January.

Duran, 18, has been an instant hit for Chicago Fire in MLS and is thought to be rated at £10million.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United are keen.

And the Reds watched him play for his country last week.

But the teen is being advised to join a 'smaller' side to get games at a high level rather than be lost in a squad at one of the Premier League giants, says The Sun.
