Best Alternatives to Jhon Durán

Playing Style Analysis

Durán is the rare striker who wins the ball in the air like a centre-back and then actually does something useful with it. His aerial win rate sits in the top 5% of Super Lig forwards—not just a target man collecting knockdowns, but a genuine aerial weapon who combines that dominance with a top-5% ground duel rate, making him physically imposing in ways most attackers simply aren't. His 0.50 goals per 90 and 0.33 assists per 90 suggest a forward contributing at both ends of the attacking chain. The three closest DNA matches to Jhon Durán:

• Paul Onuachu(85% match) — A Complete Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (3.1 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.78 goals/90), dominant in the air (4.4 aerials won/90, 64%) and top 10% scorer in the league.
• Felipe Augusto(84% match) — A Poacher. Statistically, he stands out as a constant goal threat (2.7 shots/90), a proven goalscorer (0.55 goals/90) and top 20% scorer in the league.
• Mauro Icardi(82% match) — Icardi remains one of football's most polarising case studies: a striker whose entire value is compressed into the 18-yard box with almost surgical precision, and whose numbers in the Turkish top flight prove the instinct hasn't left him. His 1.15 goals per 90 and 4.69 shots per 90 both sit in the league's top 5%, meaning he isn't just scoring—he's generating and converting at a rate that embarrasses most peers in this division.
