Aston Villa has 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.

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Evann Guessand from Nice in a deal worth around £30 million. The 24-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the club after successfully undergoing a medical on Thursday.
