Colombia forward Jhon Duran joined Zenit St Petersburg in Russia - on loan from ​Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr - on Monday, following ‌the termination of his loan ‌spell with Fenerbahce.

Duran, who has three international goals to his name, joined ⁠Al Nassr from Premier League side ‌Aston Villa in January, 2025, for around £58 million, it has been reported. 

"The Colombian striker joins us on loan from Al Nassr until ‌the end of the 2025/26 season," Zenit posted on X.

Zenit sit second in the Russian league with 39 points, one point behind leaders Krasnodar.
