Aston Villa successfully recruited Nice's striker Evann Guessand. This is their first big contract this summer. Villa Park's home team agreed to the price of 35 million euros (£ 30.5 million) for the Ivory Coast player.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has turned on the mantra “Here We Go” in the transfer of Evann Guessand from Nice to Aston Villa.
“Evann Guessand comes to Aston Villa, let's start! The mouth agreement has been achieved after the offer of 30 million euros plus 5 million euros of an additional charge. Nice has allowed Guessand to go to medical examination and sign contracts as the next step. Welcome the new striker of Unai Emery,” Romano wrote on Twitter.
According to The Guardian, Aston Villa scheduled a medical examination for Guessand on Wednesday and intended to sign a long -term contract with a 24 -year -old striker. The player was born in France, but the ivory coastal team scored 12 goals after 32 appearances in Ligue 1 last season and scored the first international goal in March.
His appearance will be a significant addition to Unai Emery's attack, with Ollie Watkins is the only real striker in the Aston Villa squad. Like Donyell Malen, Guessand's versatility makes him an attractive choice for Aston Villa next season, when they participate in many arenas.
Aston Villa had to pay attention to the regulations on profit and sustainability this summer. Their only contract of their experienced goalkeeper Marco Bizot, who was recruited for the No. 2 position from Brest. Zepiqueno Redmond – a player who is recruited from Feyenoord, may be gone in the form of loan.
The instability continues to cover goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who is said to be looking for a new challenge. Meanwhile, Watkins has attracted the attention of top teams, but Aston Villa does not want to sell the British player. The Villa Park team just wants to streamline the squad and sell the reserve players like Alex Moreno and LeaneeDer Dendoncker.
