Crystal Palace Football Club announced the signing of Ivorian striker Iván Gissand on loan until the end of the season from Aston Villa, with an option for the club to make the deal permanent later. This move aims to strengthen the forward line in the upcoming period.

Ghisande, 24 years old, will wear the number 29 jersey with his new team after struggling to secure a starting position with his club this season. He participated in a limited number of matches without managing to make a significant scoring impact in the league.

The deal comes at a crucial time for Crystal Palace, which is looking to strengthen its attacking options amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Jean-Philippe Mateta. This has prompted the management to move quickly to provide additional solutions for the coach in the upcoming phase.

Gissand expressed his happiness at joining Crystal Palace, affirming his excitement to start this new experience and his eagerness to make the anticipated contribution and help the team achieve positive results in local competitions.
