Evann Guesand became the first summer signature

Nice Striker Evann Guessand will become the first Summer Aston Villa signing after a £ 30.5 million agreement between the two clubs was agreed.

France, Ivory Coast International, which scored 12 goals in 32 appearances in League 1 last season, must complete its medical at the Premier League Club on Wednesday.

Villa’s activity in the summer transfer window has been a bit restricted, and the club must remain concerned about the Premier League’s return and sustainability regulations.

However, the 24 -year -old would be a welcome complement to Unai Emery’s attacking options, with England striker Ollie Watkins, who has been the recent goal of several clubs, currently the only recognized striker in the club.

The only signature of Emery’s first team so far is the experienced goalkeeper Marco Bizot, signed by Brest as the uncertainty grows on the future of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Villa, who finished sixth last season to qualify in Europe League, opened his home -home campaign at Newcastle United on Saturday, August 16 (12:30 in the United Kingdom).
