Pearce reacts as Crook confirms imminent West Ham bid for Man United star

Stuart Pearce, a former West Ham assistant boss, has given his approval for the Hammers’ potential move for Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Pearce’s endorsement comes after transfer reporter Alex Crook confirmed that West Ham will make a bid for Wan-Bissaka imminently.West Ham’s interest in Wan-Bissaka is not new, with the club having been linked to the £50m-rated defender for over two years.

However, with Vladimir Coufal’s only backup, Ben Johnson, leaving to join Ipswich, signing a new right-back has become a priority for the Hammers.Wan-Bissaka, who has reportedly said his goodbyes at Manchester United, is now likely to join West Ham, according to an inside source at the Red Devils. The Hammers have been in talks with Southampton over Kyle Walker-Peters, but the Saints have been holding out for more money, leading West Ham to turn their attention to Wan-Bissaka.

Pearce, who was at West Ham when they signed Coufal, believes that Wan-Bissaka would be a good addition to the team. “I think it would be a really good move for both club and player,” Pearce said. Crook also agrees, stating that Wan-Bissaka’s future lies away from Old Trafford and that a move to West Ham could be beneficial for him.

The potential signing of Wan-Bissaka has also led to a change in attitude from Coufal, who was previously reported to be unhappy with his contract at the London Stadium. However, it is now claimed that Coufal wants to stay and impress new manager Julen Lopetegui.If West Ham can agree on a deal with Manchester United for Wan-Bissaka, who is in the final year of his contract, he will likely arrive as the new first-choice right-back. This would be a significant coup for the Hammers, who have been searching for a top-class right-back to strengthen their defense.

In conclusion, Stuart Pearce’s endorsement of West Ham’s potential move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka highlights the excitement surrounding the transfer. With Wan-Bissaka’s future at Manchester United uncertain, a move to West Ham could be a fresh start for the defender. West Ham’s pursuit of Wan-Bissaka demonstrates their ambition to strengthen their squad and challenge for European places in the upcoming season.
