LONDON (AP) — Aston Villa has reached an agreement to sign Colombia striker Jhon Durán from Major League Soccer team Chicago Fire for a reported $18 million. The 19-year-old Durán scored eight goals in 22 appearances for the Fire last season and has played three times for Colombia. Villa says the deal is subject to Durán passing a medical examination, agreeing to personal terms and obtaining a working visa. Durán will become Villa’s second signing of the January transfer window after left back Alex Moreno from Real Betis.
