Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran before the deadline.
There have been no offers yet for the player and it remains to be seen what Villa's position is regarding the 20-year-old's future.
Duran only joined Villa from Chicago Fire last summer and has made 14 appearances in the Premier League so far — all of them from the bench.
The Colombia international has four goals in all competitions, starting in four of their Europa Conference League games and in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Sources have also told Sky Sports News the Blues need to be conscious of Profitability & Sustainability Rules (PSR), but manager Mauricio Pochettino insists Chelsea do not need to sell first before buying.
Selling academy graduates would present pure profit on the balance sheet, which has heightened the prospect of selling Broja, Conor Gallagher, and/or Trevoh Chalobah this month.
