The race for Chicago Fire attacker Jhon Duran is heating up.

Benfica have joined Premier League clubs Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in the hunt for Colombian forward Jhon Duran.

The 19-year-old picked up eight goals and five assists in 27 games last season, and is believed to have attracted interest from around Europe.

United and Chelsea are both believed to have made enquiries about the teenager, who has appeared three times for his country after making his international debut earlier this year.

Benfica seem to be the latest club to show interest, with Record reporting they 'want to bring him in during the January transfer window.'

Chicago Fire are prepared to sell their star youngster for around €10m.
