In the event of direct qualification for the next Champions League, the OGC Nice may perhaps keep Evann Guessand this summer. Otherwise, the 23-year-old striker will have many requests from the first league or even European clubs engaged in LDC… The player trained with the Aiglons (spotted at ASPTT Marseille) has a very good 2024-2025 season. The championship had not had such a all-terrain striker for a long time, physically ubiquitous and technically omnipresent.
As displayed by Ligue 1 account, Guessand is a reference in Europe in 2025. Among the players with at least four goals and four decisive since the start of the calendar year, the Ivorian international is the dolphin of Mohamed Salah. The former Nantais now has 5 goals and 4 assists in 2025 (when the Liverpool Egyptian is at 12 goals/assists). His record now displays 12 goals and 8 assists in all competitions this season.
After Guessand, Nice falls on Donovan
Evann Guessand opened the scoring during the reception of AJ Auxerre on Friday at the opening of the 26th day of Ligue 1. On a corner drawn from the right, Gaëtan Laborde diverted the ball at the first post and Guessand made the difference in the head (37th).
Franck Haise’s players then had many opportunities to double the bet. They struck 20 times to the goal in everything, but came across a great Donovan Léon, author of five parades. The match suddenly tilted five minutes from the end … Melvin Bard saw red for an ugly sole in the midfield and, after additional time,
Florian Ayé equalized in force ahead of Marcin Bulka (94th).
The Niçois lack the opportunity to get ahead of AS Monaco. They are third with three points ahead of AS Monaco, which plays in Angers on Saturday. And this, two weeks before an azure derby between the two teams, on March 29 in Louis-II.
