Brighton target Evann Guessand amid Joao Pedro exit links | OneFootball

Brighton & Hove Albion are showing strong interest in signing OGC Nice attacker Evann Guessand this summer, according to Sky Sport Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

The Seagulls are seeking fresh attacking talent as interest in Joao Pedro intensifies. Several top clubs, including Chelsea, are monitoring the Brazilian forward ahead of the transfer window.

Manager Fabian Hurzeler led Brighton to an eighth-place finish in the Premier League this season. The club aims to enhance their squad and push higher next term.

Guessand is seen as a player who could add quality and energy to their attacking options.

Guessand shines in France to attract interest from Brighton

The 22-year-old bagged 13 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season.

His consistent performances have drawn interest from several European clubs, including in the Bundesliga.

Known for his movement, the Ivorian often operates in the right half-space and makes clever runs behind defenders.

He uses his pace and clever positioning to create chances and exploit weaknesses in the opposition’s backline.

Guessand perfectly matches Brighton’s player profile, and they have used their advanced scouting data to highlight his value and potential impact at the club.

Nice reportedly value the forward at around €25 million, and the Seagulls view him as one of the most efficient and productive young forwards available.

If Pedro leaves this summer, Brighton may need to act fast to secure Guessand’s services.
