BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — 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. Villa described him as 'a versatile operator capable of playing across the front line.' Neither team disclosed financial terms.
