Set to lead front line

Guessand has been named in Ivory Coast's World Cup squad and is expected to provide manager Fae with a direct and physical forward option capable of contributing throughout the competition.

Analysis: Guessand ended the club season having spent time at both Aston Villa and on loan at Crystal Palace, contributing four goal and one assist across 35 appearances in all competitions. The striker's pace, aerial ability and physical presence give Ivory Coast a different attacking profile and his Premier League experience gives him the credentials to perform under pressure.
