Crystal Palace re-signs Guessand on season-long loan from Villa
The Ivorian forward returns to Selhurst Park on loan for the season after his stint at Aston Villa.
Evann Guessand is back at Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old forward joins on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, as reported by BBC Sport.
Guessand already knows Selhurst Park well — he was a key player in Palace's second half of last season, helping them win the Conference League in May. This return comes after a turbulent year: signed by Villa last August for £26m, he struggled early on with just two goals in 21 appearances. His January move to Palace revived his season — he scored his first Premier League goal against Wolves and featured in the Conference League final victory over Rayo Vallecano.
The deal includes a conditional obligation to buy for Villa, while Palace hold an option to purchase. Guessand has just returned from the summer World Cup with Ivory Coast, following pre-season training with the Villans.
