Pretty much every transfer goes like this, the story breaks, everything is quiet for a few days then we get a welcome video, shirt pulling pic and monchi gets a pic with them.

He definitely landed, he was seen at WH Smith buying some Evann Water.

Not sure it's already been mentioned but Guessand turned down an €8.6m a year four year contract from Neon in Saudi to join us. The lad's ambitious. His contract with us is for five years according to the craziest vlog I've just watched from the Ivory Coast.

Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Evann Guessand.

The forward joins from OGC Nice for an undisclosed fee.

Guessand came through the ranks at the French club and enjoyed a 2024/25 campaign where he scored 12 goals, helping Nice finish fourth in Ligue 1.

The Ivory Coast international, who is a versatile operator capable of playing across the front line, was also named Nice Player of the Season last term.

I love when clubs use the word 'undisclosed' in their official announcements. You're the ones not doing the disclosing! I assume it's been disclosed to you, you're just not disclosing it to us! Evanns above.
