"Guessand, who had been wanted by Tottenham earlier in the summer, joined Aston Villa from Nice for a fee in the region of 30m. Hopes were high for the 24-year-old, but he has really struggled at Villa Park, with only one goal and zero assists in 16 appearances across all competitions."
"I would move Guessand on. The hardest thing for a football club is to admit that they've made a mistake. There are a lot of things when it comes to bringing players in, especially foreign players. Living in Birmingham, there are plenty of nice places to live in Birmingham. Guessand is obviously under Emery's watch, they will have had several reports on him before signing him."
"It's not only about how he's playing and training, but it's also about how he's living, and an unsure private life usually backfires on the playing side. There will be reasons why he's not performing, and it might be wise to cut losses and move on if he doesn't start performing."
Aston Villa made five senior signings in the summer, and most new arrivals have encountered problems. Jadon Sancho has struggled, while Harvey Elliott and Victor Lindelof have barely played. Evann Guessand joined from Nice for around £30m after Tottenham interest, but he has managed only one goal and no assists in 16 appearances across all competitions. Guessand is reported to be struggling to settle into life in Birmingham. Former scout Bryan King has urged the club to cut their losses and move Guessand on, citing adaptation and private-life issues that can affect performance. There remains time for Guessand to settle and improve form if he adapts to life in England.
