Birmingham, Aug 8: Aston Villa made its first major signing of the summer by landing Ivory Coast forward Evann Guessand from French club Nice for a reported fee of at least 30 million euros ($35 million) on Friday.
The 24-year-old Guessand scored 13 goals in total last season playing mainly as a winger and was named Nice’s player of the season.
