Aston Villa have agreed to sign a good striker Evann I think for £ 26m plus £ 4.3m in addition.
For 24 years of Ivory Coast he scored the last 12 goals and was called the season player as Nice finished fourth in France’s 1st Ligue.
He is expected to have treatment in Villa on Wednesday.
I think, who was the goal of Crystal Palace, will be the first major signing of the warm Villa. He follows Yasin Ozcan, who joined Kasimpasa but has been borrowed Anderlecht, and goalkeeper Marco Bizot who arrived at an unknown fee from Brest.
Villa have been looking at the striker’s options since January’s departure from Jhon Duran to Saudi Arabia al-Nassr to leave them with Ollie Watkins as their front station. Marcus Rashford spent the second half of the season in Villa on loan but has joined Barcelona.
I think he went to the youth ranks in Nice and signed a four -year contract last season.
He first made Ivory Coast in June 2024 and has nine hats.
Villa, who finished six last season to qualify for the Europa League, to open their Premier League campaign at Newcastle United on Saturday, August 16 (12:30 BST).
