Crystal Palace push to sign Evann Guessand permanently after loan success

Evann Guessand has impressed during his loan spell at Crystal Palace, prompting the Premier League side to explore a permanent move for the striker from parent club Aston Villa.

The forward, who initially struggled to settle in England following his arrival at Villa, has revived his form since joining Palace, quickly becoming an important figure in the squad.

His impact has been felt in both domestic and European matches, where he has consistently contributed to the team’s attacking play.

Guessand made an immediate impression on his debut for Palace, registering an assist that set the tone for his early performances at Selhurst Park.

Since then, he has continued to build momentum, earning praise for his work rate, link-up play and influence in the final third.

His performances have not gone unnoticed by supporters, with fans voting him the club’s player of the month for February, a reflection of his growing importance within the team.

That recognition has strengthened Palace’s desire to retain his services beyond the end of the loan spell.

According to reports, discussions have already begun between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa regarding a possible permanent transfer.

The talks come as Palace look to reinforce their attacking options, with Guessand viewed as a player who has already adapted to the demands of the squad and the Premier League environment.

While no agreement has yet been reached, Palace’s interest signals their intent to keep hold of a player who has rediscovered form and confidence since his arrival.
