Aston Villa are reportedly weighing up a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Guinea and France centre-forward Serhou Guirassy, 30, as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season.
The Dortmund No 9, valued at €32.00m on Transfermarkt, has been linked with a switch from the Bundesliga to the Premier League, with the probability of a deal currently rated at 49% on German transfer portals. Guirassy’s contract details at Dortmund have not been made public, fuelling speculation that the club could be open to a sale rather than risk him edging towards free‑agent territory in a future window.
Born in Arles on 12 March 1996 and standing at 1.87m, the right‑footed striker has built a reputation as a powerful, penalty-box specialist. Since arriving in Germany before his move to Dortmund, he has emerged as one of the Bundesliga’s more prolific forwards, form which ultimately earned him his transfer to the Westfalenstadion and made him an attractive proposition for clubs in England.
Guirassy’s recent displays for Dortmund have kept suitors interested. In a recent Bundesliga fixture against top‑flight opposition – where Dortmund ran out winners in a high‑scoring encounter – the Guinea international led the line, contributing with his work-rate and movement as his side claimed an important victory. Performances of that kind have underlined why Villa are monitoring his situation closely.
With dual nationality (Guinea and France) and experience across major European leagues, Guirassy would bring both physical presence and Champions League‑level know-how to Villa’s forward line. For now, talks remain at the rumour stage, but if a transfer materialises, a move to the Premier League could define the next phase of his career and test whether he can translate his Bundesliga scoring pedigree into one of the most demanding leagues in world football.
