According to renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Dutch left-back Mattson, with Chelsea having given the green light for the transfer. The clubs are expected to finalize the deal before the end of this week. It’s understood that discussions are ongoing between Chelsea and Villa about the possibility of including another player in the transaction, with Colombian striker John Duarte potentially being part of the move.
The 20-year-old center-forward, Duarte, has scored 5 goals in 23 appearances in the Premier League this season. Multiple reports have suggested that the player is keen on joining Chelsea, and negotiations between the three parties are taking place almost daily.
Duarte is set to represent the Colombian national team in the upcoming Copa America tournament. However, Mattson’s international career hasn’t been as smooth, as the Champions League runner-up left-back is yet to make an appearance at the Euros despite being called up by Ronald Koeman.
