West Ham are in advanced talks with Manchester United for the signature of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, reports talkSport. The 26-year-old has only one year left on his contract and the Old Trafford side could be looking to cash in on him.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka could join West Ham

Man United would be tempted to let go of Wan-Bissaka for a fee of around 15 million pounds, according to the same source.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka joined Manchester United in 2019 from Crystal Palace for 50 million pounds. He was one of the most in-demand defenders in the Premier League at that time, but his career at Old Trafford has seen many ups and downs. Last season, manager Erik ten Hag counted more on Portuguese right-back Diogo Dalot instead of Wan-Bissaka.
