Aston Villa has bolstered its attacking options, securing Evann Guessand from French side Nice for around £30 million. The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international arrives with high hopes of filling the shoes of Ollie Watkins and adding a new dimension to Villa's forward line.
Guessand, a dynamic striker known for his pace and finishing ability, has been generating significant buzz in Ligue 1. He scored 11 goals in 34 appearances last season, showcasing his potential to become a key player for Unai Emery's squad. Villa fans are eager to see if he can replicate that form in the Premier League.
While the Rainbow Laces campaign recently concluded in the Premier League, Villa's focus is firmly on strengthening their squad. Meanwhile, Arsenal's young talent, Omari Nwaneri, has committed to a new deal, highlighting the ongoing investment in future stars across the league.
Could Guessand be the missing piece in Villa's quest for European qualification? Only time will tell, but the signing signals Villa's ambition and commitment to competing at the highest level.
