  "account": "Aston Villa's Evann Guessand is reportedly in discussions to return to Crystal Palace on a season-long loan, according to recent reports. The 25-year-old Ivory Coast forward made 21 appearances for Palace last season, including a crucial contribution to their Conference League victory in May. Guessand joined Villa in August 2022 following a £26 million transfer from the Eagles, but his initial season with the club was less productive, netting only two goals in all competitions. Despite a promising start under Palace's management, including his first Premier League goal in a match against Wolves and an appearance in the Conference League final, Guessand eventually returned to Villa for pre-season prior to the summer transfer window closing. Notably, he represented Ivory Coast in two World Cup matches earlier in the year, and went on to secure a Europa League winner's medal alongside his former team.",
