Aston Villa advancing in talks to sign Nice forward Evann Guessand
Aston Villa are advancing in talks to sign Nice forward Evann Guessand. Guessand has been a long standing target, with The Athletic reporting in January that the 24-year-old was among a list of young forward options Villa wanted to sign. However, it was decided that the player would stay at Ligue 1 side Nice until the end of the season. Advertisement Villa are now working on a deal to sign Guessand but face competition for his signature. A move is not close but discussions are ongoing over fee. Villa are keen to strengthen in the forward positions, but have been stifled so far in this window due to fears of breaching profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and UEFA squad costs (SCR). Presently, the only permanent signing has been back-up goalkeeper Marco Bizot from Brest. Villa begin their Premier League season against Newcastle United on August 16. Guessand would match the criteria of striker Villa are looking for. A young, dynamic forward who can play multiple positions and provide depth up front. Currently Ollie Watkins is Villa's only archetypal No 9 after the departure of Jhon Duran in January and Marcus Rashford returning to Manchester United following his loan.
