Aston Villa Striker Evann Guessand Returns to Premier League Rivals on Loan
The Ivory Coast forward returns after scoring two goals in 21 Villa appearances and will give Palace an option to buy him permanently.
- Evann Guessand has joined Crystal Palace on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, with a conditional obligation to buy included in the agreement.
- The 25-year-old spent the second half of last season at Selhurst Park, but Palace passed on a permanent transfer earlier this summer.
- Signed by Villa for £26m, Guessand scored two goals in 21 appearances during his initial stint, though he later netted his first Premier League goal in a 1-0 win over Wolves.
- Despite Oliver Glasner's departure, new boss Pierre Sage remained interested in recruiting Guessand, who participated in pre-season matches against Bayern Munich, Indonesia All Stars, and Pathum.
- Villa are also attempting to offload Leon Bailey this summer, though a move to Hull City was described as "off" by manager Sergej Jakirovic.
