Fire striker Jhon Dur?n set to join Aston Villa in $18 million deal

LONDON — Premier League club Aston Villa reached an agreement to sign Colombia striker Jhon Dur?n from the Fire for a reported $18 million on Monday.

Villa said the deal was subject to Dur?n passing a medical examination, agreeing to personal terms, and obtaining a working visa.
