Frederick Guilbert recently announced his return to Aston Villa after his loan at SM Caen came to an end – being pictured at the Championship playoff final –  and the 24-year-old could now compete with Ahmed Elmohamady for a starting place at right-back next season.

Guilbert signed for Villa in January and was loaned back to his former club for the remainder of the campaign, but he’s ended his time at the Stade Michel d’Ornano on a sad note – Caen were relegated from Ligue 1.

The former French u21 international, who has made 106 appearances in all competitions for Caen, was one of the standout performers in 2018/19, so Villa supporters should still be excited at the prospect of Guilbert playing in the Premier League.
