Trabzonspor have put Guessand high on their list of attacking targets, according to the Turkish outlet Gunebakis in reporting relayed on July 26th, which frames the interest around a forward who has not found the environment he was looking for in England. Guessand arrived from Nice in the summer of 2025 for a fee reported at up to EUR 35m and never settled at Villa Park, spending the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace. Palace held an option to make that move permanent and looked for a time like triggering it, but let it lapse, returning the Ivory Coast international to Villa with his future unresolved. There is no formal approach on record and Villa have not signalled a valuation or a willingness to sell.
