“I’m just happy to be here. I actually love the competition I have going with Ollie Watkins,” the former Chicago Fire star said.

“When it’s my turn, I will step up, and hopefully I can score and help the team.”

Duran has been strongly linked with the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona in recent months.

Chelsea, West Ham and AC Milan reportedly tried to sign the young striker in the summer.
