"Crystal Palace have signed Aston Villa forward Evann Guessand on loan until the end of the season with an option to make the move permanent. The Ivory Coast international only joined Villa from Nice for 26m last summer and has scored two goals in 21 appearances in all competitions. With the January arrival of Tammy Abraham from Besiktas for 18.25m, Guessand was likely to be third choice behind England duo Abraham and Ollie Watkins at Villa Park."
"Palace are currently 15th in the Premier League, eight points clear of relegation, but sold England defender Marc Guehi to Manchester City, while France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has told the club he wants to leave. Boss Oliver Glasner, who will also exit Palace when his contract expires in the summer, said Mateta was also "not in the right place" to play against Nottingham Forest in Sunday's crucial league game. But Guessand said the Eagles have "quality" and he was "really excited" to impress."
Crystal Palace signed Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent. The Ivory Coast forward joined Villa from Nice for 26m last summer and scored two goals in 21 appearances for Villa, and three goals in 19 appearances for his country, including at the recent Africa Cup of Nations. Palace sold Marc Guehi to Manchester City and face potential departures such as Jean-Philippe Mateta, while boss Oliver Glasner said the club are working constantly to bring in further players. Guessand said he is excited to play and believes the squad has quality, and chairman Steve Parish described him as an exciting talent who should flourish.
