The Ivory Coast international joins Villa despite receiving offers from the Saudi Pro League and interest from Wolves earlier this summer. Guessand expressed his excitement about joining the club, saying it's a dream come true. He's eager to meet the fans, see the atmosphere, and start playing for the team.

Guessand is a versatile player who can contribute to Villa's attack in various ways. When asked about his preferred position, he mentioned that he feels most comfortable playing as a striker, but is also comfortable playing on the wing or in other attacking positions. The 24-year-old will wear the No.29 shirt for the 2025/26 season.

This signing marks Villa's second first-team addition of the summer, following the acquisition of goalkeeper Marco Bizot from French club Brest.
