Crystal Palace are reportedly looking to bring Evann Guessand back to Selhurst Park, with talks underway over a season-long loan move for the Ivory Coast forward from Aston Villa, according to BBC News.

Details remain scarce at this stage, with the report offering little beyond confirmation that negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing. It's understood the deal would see Guessand return to Palace for the 2025-26 campaign, though nothing has been finalised as things stand.

Should the move go through, it would mark a reunion between the forward and a club he's previously been linked with, though BBC News has not detailed the exact terms or timeline for a potential agreement. Villa fans will be watching closely to see whether the Frenchman-eligible Ivorian departs on loan as speculation builds around his immediate future at Villa Park.
