Tottenham believe that they can land Evan Guessand in the summer
Tottenham need to take decisive action this summer. The board know that they cannot repeat the same mistakes they made in previous transfer windows. The fans are demanding signings that will have an immediate impact. The club are looking to strengthen their attack as they will be playing in the Champions League as well in 2025/26.
With the arrival of Thomas Frank, a new style of play is emerging. Young players with potential and versatility might be the target of the club. That is why interest in Evann Guessand has been rekindled. The OGC Nice striker has caught the attention of several English teams. The battle will not be easy, but Tottenham feel that they can lure him away. They want a reinforcement that can provide mobility, goals and serve them for a long time.
We reported earlier as well that Spurs are looking for him, and to add to that, according to Football Insider, Evann Guessand is the player of desire for several clubs. Pete O’Rourke said on his Inside Track podcast that Nice already assume that significant offers will come in. Fenerbahce, with Mourinho, had sounded out the player. However, the journalist’s sources say that the striker is not convinced about moving to Turkey.
This benefits Premier League clubs. Brighton, West Ham and Wolves are following him closely. Tottenham are confident that their project is attractive. If they decide to bid seriously, they could prevail. The 24-year-old Ivory Coast player knows that London offers a unique showcase, and Frank’s presence adds to the appeal. Even during the 2024/25 season, there were reports linking Spurs to the striker.
“Nice are bracing themselves for interest in the upcoming window. There’s been talk that Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce would like to sign him as well. My sources tell me the player himself is not overly keen on that move, so that will be positive news for his Premier League suitors.Looking at the interested clubs, Brighton, West Ham, Wolves…Tottenham I’m sure would be pretty hopeful that, if they do follow up their interest, that they could win the race for his services.”
We think Guessand would fit well into Thomas Frank’s 4-3-3. The Dane prioritises high pressure and transitions. Gussand possesses the speed in breaking lines. He can start from the left wing or play as a flexible striker, and he is not a fixed forward. The 24-year-old looks for spaces, draws defenders and combines well with midfielders. His main strength lies in his reading of movements without the ball.

Guessand knows when to attack the back of the defence. His finishing, although improvable, allows him to score more than 10 goals per season. The problem arises when he has to link up under pressure. He sometimes overuses his dribbling and loses the ball. The Ivory Coast international is also required to be more decisive in tight games.
However, Tottenham have arguments to convince him. With Frank, the team will have a clear plan and will give minutes to players like him. Competing with Brighton or West Ham is not easy, but the Spurs have history and a project with European ambition. In addition, Guessand has shown character in Ligue 1. He has been consistent and responds on key nights. He is not a star player, but he is a player who, if worked on properly, can bring joy. If Tottenham secure this deal, they will ensure dynamism and a much-needed profile. There is a risk, but it is worth taking if they are looking to make a real leap forward.
