Aston Villa has made a significant move in the transfer market by signing Evann Guessand from French club Nice. The transfer fee is reportedly at least €30 million, with potential add-ons amounting to another €5 million.

Guessand, a standout performer last season with 13 goals and a reputation for versatility, joins Villa as a promising addition to the team's front line. His achievements at Nice, where he was named player of the season, mark him as a player with considerable promise.
