Aston Villa have confirmed the arrival of Evann Guessand from French team OGC Nice.
As Villa keeps improving their attacking alternatives heading into the new campaign, the transfer was confirmed for an undisclosed fee.
Guessand had a remarkable 2024–25 campaign scoring 12 Ligue 1 goals to propel his team to a fourth-place finish.
Emphasizing his influence and consistency, the Ivorian forward was named Player of the Season at Allianz Riviera. Renowned for his adaptability, he feels at ease working everywhere along the front line.
The 23-year-old’s entry gives depth and fire-power as The Lions strive for European challenge. His style and capacity match Unai Emery’s dynamic approach very well.
His Ligue 1 success will hopefully translate fast to the Premier League scene for the club and its supporters.
