West Ham Set To Sign Aaron Wan Bissaka For Cut-Price Fee
As reported by talkSPORT, whom Football Park ranks as tier 1 for reliability, West Ham United are in advanced negotiations with Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Manchester United are willing to listen to offers of £15 million, which would see them take a heavy loss for a player they paid £50 million to sign from Crystal Palace in 2019.
West Ham have already signed Max Kilman for £40 million from Wolves, so defensive reinforcements are clearly a priority for new manager Julen Lopetegui.
Wan-Bissaka is likely to be second choice behind Diogo Dalot at Manchester United, so a move to West Ham could be a deal that suits all parties.

Wan-Bissaka has had a mixed career at Old Trafford.
A player Jamie Carragher described as ‘the best one-on-one defender for a full-back in the world’ has always received praise for his defensive abilities. He has kept wingers such as Raheem Sterling and Kaoru Mitoma quiet on more than one occasion.
West Ham have long held an interest in the Englishman, as former Manager David Moyes tried to sign him in previous windows, along with his current team-mates Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay.

Question marks remain about his attacking output, with Wan-Bissaka only scoring 2 goals and providing 13 assists in 190 games for Manchester United. West Ham will no doubt hope he can improve on this side of his game.
While these numbers are not as impressive as his Liverpool counterpart Trent Alexander-Arnold, this hasn’t put off Julen Lopetegui in trying to secure the signing of the Manchester United full-back.
