Amina UmarWest Ham United are reportedly eyeing a stunning move for Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to The Daily Mail. The Hammers attempted to sign the right-back in January, but were unsuccessful.
However, with Julen Lopetegui at the helm, West Ham are ready to make another move for the 26-year-old.Wan-Bissaka joined Manchester United from Crystal Palace for £50 million in 2019, but Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag is allegedly willing to let him leave Old Trafford. The defender has been described as “explosive” by The Athletic and is widely regarded as one of the best man-to-man defenders in the Premier League.Lopetegui is keen to strengthen his squad this summer, and Wan-Bissaka’s arrival would be a significant coup for the Hammers.
The Spanish manager has already signed Max Kilman and Luis Guilherme, but is aware that he needs to add more experience to his team. Wan-Bissaka’s signing would fit the bill, bringing pace, skill, and defensive prowess to West Ham’s right-back position.The former Crystal Palace defender has been impressing in the Premier League, and his ability to tackle and defend is unmatched. While he may not be the best going forward, he has the potential to improve his attacking game.
At 26, Wan-Bissaka is in his prime, and West Ham would be getting a player who can perform at the highest level for years to come.The only obstacle to the deal is Manchester United’s valuation of Wan-Bissaka. If the Red Devils demand too much money, West Ham may be put off. However, if the price is right, the Hammers should be all over a deal for the defender. He would be a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal, and his arrival would send a statement of intent from West Ham.
In other news, West Ham are also linked with moves for Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus, as Lopetegui looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season. The Hammers boss is keen to add a mix of youth and experience to his team, and Wan-Bissaka’s signing would fit perfectly into his plans.
