According to Gunners legend Patrick Vieira, Arsenal should try to sign Duran this winter in order to address their goal-scoring problems.

The North London team is now sitting fifth in the rankings, seven points behind Liverpool, after failing to recover from their close loss to Manchester City in the Premier League title chase last season.
It’s depressing to learn that City is five points ahead at this early time in the new season.
Although Vieira believes a more natural striker would help Mikel Arteta’s team, he has been pleased by Kai Havertz as the Gunners’ most advanced player.
Arsenal may have a better chance of winning the title again if they sign an experienced center forward and Villa’s Duran is one such candidate.
“I really enjoyed Duran’s performance against Bayern Munich,” Vieira continued. He is the ideal player for Arsenal because he is fast, selfless, strong in the air, technically proficient, and moves with intelligence.
Given that Duran is only 20 years old and has no prior top-tier experience, it may be a daring move for Arsenal to sign him at this time.
However, with eight goals in just 548 minutes this season, the Colombian international seems to have a bright future, reports Birmingham World.
