Crystal Palace close in on Nice attacker Evann Guessand
Crystal Palace are closing in on a deal for Nice ace Evann Guessand, according to journalist Chris Wheatley. Guessand caught Palace's eye after bagging 12 goals and eight assists with Nice last term. He had attracted interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United. The Hammers reportedly submitted a bid for him in January and were ready to swoop again. Guessand is a winger who operates off the right but loves to get into the box and create danger. He will provide competition for Palace's unsung hero, Ismaila Sarr. The pair will battle it out for a place on the right side of the attack. His high-level sprints, intelligent off-ball movement and ability to link play mirror traits seen in elite wide forwards such as Mohamed Salah. Palace have been quiet in the transfer market. They signed left-back Borna Sosa for around €4 million following the departure of Ben Chilwell, who returned to Chelsea. The Eagles also snapped up goalkeeper Walter Benitez to back up number one shot-stopper Dean Henderson. The former PSV Eindhoven star has been one of the most underrated goalkeepers in Europe over the past few seasons and is set to spend the twilight of his career at Selhurst Park. Palace could soon be in the market for another attacker, with Arsenal closing in on Eberechi Eze. The Eagles would need a playmaker on the left flank to replace him.

Neom target Brentford's Yoane Wissa after Guessand talks collapse
According to a report from journalist Loïc Tanzi, Saudi side Neom are reportedly cooling their proposed move for OGC Nice striker Evann Guessand (24) after an agreement has not been reached between the two clubs despite advanced talks. The Saudi Pro League newcomers have now moved onto other targets. Instead, Yoane Wissa (28), who has just one year left on his contract at Brentford, has emerged as the new priority for Neom. The club is reportedly optimistic about completing a deal for the DR Congo international forward in the coming days. In parallel, Neom is also pressing ahead in talks for Saïmon Bouabré (19), one of Monaco's most highly rated young attackers. A transfer has not yet been finalised, but efforts are intensifying to secure the France U20 international—similar to Neom's approach earlier this summer with Nathan Zézé (Nantes). | George Boxall

Premier League target Evann Guessand uninterested in Fenerbahçe move
Evann Guessand (23) will almost certainly be on the move this summer. Speaking after the final match of the Ligue 1 season, Franck Haise sounded pessimistic about OGC Nice's chances of retaining their academy product. 'We know that Evann will be one of the players who is highly sought after. What matters is what he has done this season,' began the Nice manager in a press conference attended by Get French Football News. Advertisement He added, 'Like other French clubs, we have to sell to buy this summer.' However, the Ivory Coast international will not leave on the cheap. L'Équipe understands that the centre-forward is valued at around €40m by his club. Fenerbahçe have shown interest in Guessand, as per L'Équipe. However, the player is not interested in such a move. He has made a move, either to the Premier League or to Germany, a priority. As per Sky Sports, Wolverhampton Wanderers hold an interest. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
