The 20-year-old Colombia international came off the bench to score twice in three minutes and salvage a 3-3 draw for Emery’s team on Monday night.
Duran has now scored six Premier League goals in his first full season following an £18million move from Chicago Fire and though his form has been inconsistent, Emery is aware of his talent.
The Villa boss said: “He is very young, 20 years old. His potential, it is impossible to predict how far he is going to get.
“But I believe in him. The football in Colombia is tactically very different to the Premier League.
“We’re working with him a lot. I know he’s going to score and get chances and use his power.
