Aston Villa Targets Ligue 1 Star Evann Guessand

Tseko Mkwanazi | May 9 2025

Aston Villa is reportedly making moves to strengthen its attacking lineup by targeting OGC Nice forward Evann Guessand. Scouts from the club have been sent to observe the 23-year-old striker, who has caught attention with his performance in Ligue 1. Guessand has scored 12 goals this season and is seen as a potential replacement for Ollie Watkins, amid speculation of Watkins’ possible departure. Aston Villa’s pursuit of Guessand comes as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window. With three Premier League matches remaining, Villa still has a chance to secure a top-five finish, which could influence their ability to attract new talent.
