JHON DURAN is planning a 600-mile commute from Bahrain to his new Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.
The Colombiastriker completed a £70million move from Aston Villa at the end of last week — but has told Al-Nassr he wants to live in Bahrain.

Al-Ettifaq’s Dammam training ground is an hour’s drive from Bahrain — but Al-Nassr is on the outskirts of Riyadh and more than 300 miles away.
A scheduled flight from Bahrain International Airport to the capital Riyadh takes one hour and 20 minutes, so Duran will have to get used to a gruelling travel schedule.
The 21-year-old’s decision has been partly influenced by confusion over whether he would be permitted to live with his girlfriend in Saudi Arabia.
Under Islamic law co-habitation by unmarried couples is discouraged — and private landlords often demand proof of marriage before agreeing to rent out property.
In practice, the law is not always enforced, however.
Since his debut in January 2023, Duran scored more goals as a substitute than any otherPremier Leagueplayer.
Despite his impressive form, he has found first-team starts hard to come by throughout the campaign, with Emery often preferring Ollie Watkins, who Arsenal saw a bid rejected for this week, as the lone striker in his side.

THE MASKED Singer’s Snail has been revealed as a huge 90s star – and they haven’t aged a day.
Andrea Corr, 50, stunned the judges after being unmasked during tonight’s installment.

The Corrs singer said she “loved” the costume, gushing: “I had such a good time, everyone’s been lovely, it’s been really joyous. I wanted to do it for the children.”
Andrea added after the show that she hadn’t told a soul she was doing it.
The judges, particularly Davina, was gobsmacked not to have guessed, particularly because the Irish star’s music is so well-known.
The Irish songstress shot to fame nearly three decades ago with her brothers and sisters in the band The Corrs.
Andrea and her siblings were best known for songs like Breathless, So Young, and Runaway.
One tweeted: “Snail is Andrea Corr- violins playing, clue package mentions Irresistible straight away (Corrs song), soft Irish accent, clue about being up in space- her solo album was called Ten Feet High.”
While another said: “Ok so Snail on #MaskedSingerUK sounds very much like Andrea Corr and that is what I’m sticking with.”
This one agreed: “Snail sounds a bit like Andrea Corr…”
Someone else commented: “I’m still adamant that Andrea Corr is Snail.
“Certainly sounds like her and the hand/arm movements match too.”
Perry said he wanted to be “something cute” and that he’d had a “lovely time embracing the spirit of the show”.
His initials, GP, fooled the judges who thought it was a link to comedian Harry Hill‘s former career as a doctor.
In reality, it was a lot more straightforward than that and Perry joked he’d done his best Hill impression.
Teasing what he would have done next, Perry said after the show: “I was gutted when I got knocked out. I had two really lovely songs lined up for next week.
“I was going to sing, ‘Feed the Birds’ from Mary Poppins and there wouldn’t have been a dry eye in the place! I’d already been practising. I could hardly get through without blubbing.
“And then I was going to do ‘Stick Season’ by Noah Kahan. That’s a great song. Lots of words though. Very hard to learn but I had it nailed and I was really looking forward to it.”

ALDI is selling a bargain replica of a fan-favourite hot chocolate maker from a premium brand – and fans don’t have long left to wait.
The discount chain is selling their Milk Frother at just £15, compared to Hotel Chocolat’s nearly £100 Velvetiser, but they effectively do the same thing.

Hotel ChocolatThe Velvetiser from Hotel Chocolat retails at £99.95[/caption]
Aldi‘s product releases in days, leaving little time for Britain’s chocoholics and coffee addicts to get themselves to their nearest store.
The Ambiano Milk Frother allows customers to prepare hot or cold milk foam, as well as the ability to heat milk, making it ideal for a mug of hot chocolate or coffee.
It’s also simple to use, with a sleek single-button operation, automatic switch-off and protection against over-heating.
The Milk Frother also lets its user choose from three distinct colours: black, cream or grey.
With an approximate capacity of 240ml, the budget product is coming to shelves for £14.99.
Customers should note that the product only prepares milk, and will have to be bought with coffee or hot chocolate powder separately.
People on social media who have already used the Ambiano have previously shared their reactions to the device.
One person commented on X: “My ambiano milk frother is the best ever thing I’ve bought, the whole family use it daily, it’s brill.”
Another shopper said: “Finally used the Ambiano Milk Frother after 3yrs in the box – it makes the most amazing Greek Frappes, tonight it’s with Baileys, there’s no going back now!”
Comparatively, Hotel Chocolat’s £99.95 version charges customers more for a similar experience, with some aspects notably weaker than the Aldi frother.
The Velvetiser has a 200ml capacity compared to Aldi‘s 240ml, which is the difference between being able to pour a whole extra cup.
Hotel Chocolat’s product takes two and a half minutes to prepare a coffee that the website describes as “barista-grade”.
Several reviews on the company’s product page have expressed delight with the Velvetiser, but do suggest that it works better if you buy Hotel Chocolat’s separate chocolate sachets.
One person said: “I wanted to give 10 stars. If you’re debating buying this, just do it, do it now!
“I wake up every morning happy since purchasing the velvetiser and the unreal chocolate sachets.
“I tried using milk and my own dark cooking chocolate and it did not taste anywhere near as good as the chocolate sachets.”
Another customer wrote: “I used the velvetiser for the first time before a night shift and was really surprised at how quick and easy it is to use.
“No cons to the device at all.
“My only con would be the price of the multipack sachets.”
Depending on which product customers prefer, they could be in with a saving of £84.
Only days remain until Aldi releases their alternative, as the Ambiano Milk Frother hits stores on Thursday.
