Evann Guessand Returns to Crystal Palace on Season-Long Loan From Aston Villa

Evann Guessand has officially returned to Crystal Palace on a season-long loan from Aston Villa, with the deal including an option for the Eagles to make the move permanent.

The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international is back at Selhurst Park after enjoying a successful loan spell with Crystal Palace during the second half of last season.

Guessand quickly became an important part of the squad and helped the club achieve a historic milestone by featuring in the team that lifted the UEFA Conference League trophy in May.

His performances during his initial spell have now convinced Palace to bring him back for another season, with the option to secure his long-term future at the club.

Following the completion of his return, Guessand expressed his delight at being back in South London.

“I'm so happy to be here.

“I already have good memories here – but I think it's only the beginning. I hope many more are coming.”
