Evann Guessand - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Loaned to Palace Guessand has joined Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season with an option to make it permanent.

Impact Guessand makes the move to Palace with a decent possibility of it turning permanent if things work out. He didn't have a terrible start to life at Villa, starting 12 matches across league and Europa play, but whatever the reason, he's changing scenery. With Jean-Philippe Mateta continually in the news, there's a chance Guessand carves out a starting role at Palace to close the season. His main competition for minutes will be Brennan Johnson and Yeremy Pino.

Ends international duty Guessand is heading back to England after completing his international duty with Ivory Coast at the AFCON and should be back available for Sunday's clash against Everton.

Impact Guessand was eliminated with Ivory Coast from the AFCON and will now head back to England and should be back available for Sunday's clash against the Toffees. The forward has been mainly a rotational player for the Villains and should claim back that role movingforward.

Features Sunday before AFCON Guessand featured six minutes of bench during Sunday's 2-1 victory against Manchester United and is now heading to Morocco to play the AFCON with Ivory Coast.

Impact Guessand remained in Birmingham to feature in Sunday's win against Manchester United and is now set to join Ivory Coast to play in the AFCON, as he replaces Sebastien Haller, who is still injured. Guessand has been more of a rotational player for Villa this season, therefore his absence shouldn't impact the starting XI significantly, although John McGinn is likely to play more on the right wing during his multiple weeks of absence.

Joining Ivory Coast Guessand is joining Ivory Coast's national team for AFCON and is set for a spell away from the team.

Impact Guessand is likely to miss at least three weeks while away with the national team and is going to be a big blow in the starting XI. Guessand has been rotated frequently in and out of the starting XI early in the season but has goal contributions in his last two starts. John McGinn could play more on the right wing with Guessand away from the team.

Provides assist against Brighton Guessand assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory against Brighton.

Impact Guessand struggled to impose himself in the first half against the Seagulls on Wednesday despite setting Ollie Watkins' first goal in the 37th minute. He improved after the break, attacking space on the right and then getting free in the box to power a header toward goal that Bart Verbruggen could only parry before Donyell Malen scored the rebound to give a two-goal lead for the Villians. His off-ball intensity rose noticeably in the closing stages, helping Villa defend from the front.

Struggles in loss Guessand generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Guessand got the start Saturday, but had a day to forget, he took just a single shot off target and was brought off the pitch at the hour mark. The forward hasn't been at his best since making the move to England, though he hasn't been helped by a struggling team around him. Guessand continues to look for a real breakthrough in England.

Yet to score this season Guessand has yet to score a goal with Aston Villa this season.

Impact Guessand joined the club from French club OGC Nice in the summer, but he's yet to find the back of the net with his new club. He's had some encouraging performances, but overall, Guessand needs to score regularly to provide any sort of fantasy upside. The fact that he's taken just four shots in eight matches between the Premier League and the Europa League shows how minimal his influence in the attack has been so far.
