Crystal Palace explore Evann Guessand loan as attacking reshuffle gathers paceCrystal Palace’s January business is accelerating and, according to reporting by David Ornstein of The Athletic, talks are under way to bring Aston Villa forward Evann Guessand to Selhurst Park on loan before the transfer window closes. Palace are described as front-runners despite interest from other European clubs, and their interest is not new. A loan removes long-term risk while giving Palace a chance to assess whether his skill set translates more effectively in a different tactical environment. Villa’s attacking congestion, plus Guessand’s limited starts, suggest he has not had the rhythm needed to settle. If he clicks, Palace gain a dynamic forward with resale or future options.
