Aaron Wan-Bissaka, the talented right-back for Manchester United, is approaching the end of his contract with the club. Recent reports suggest that West Ham is interested in signing him this summer, as they are in need of a right-sided defender after selling Ben Johnson to Ipswich Town.
According to Sky Sports, West Ham has a few options on their shortlist, including Southampton's Kyle Walker-Peters and Wan-Bissaka. The Englishman has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for some time now and with just one year left on his contract, the club has not initiated talks for an extension.
As a result, there is a possibility that Wan-Bissaka could leave the club after spending five years with them. He joined United from Crystal Palace for a hefty fee of £50 million in 2019, following an impressive season with the Eagles. Since then, he has been a reliable player for United, excelling in defense but struggling to make an impact in the attacking third.
However, he has faced competition from Diogo Dalot for a spot in the starting lineup and has also filled in as a left-back due to the club's injury crisis. Despite this, he has made 190 appearances for United, winning an FA Cup and League Cup and reaching the finals of another FA Cup and Europa League.
Previous reports have suggested that Wan-Bissaka may have already played his last game for the club and he was one of the players rumored to be on the chopping block as part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's overhaul. The 26-year-old is one of 11 United players whose contracts expire next summer, along with the likes of Christian Eriksen, Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, and Mason Greenwood.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Wan-Bissaka and whether he will stay at United or move on to a new club. As for West Ham, they will continue to weigh their options and make a move for the right-back they believe will strengthen their defense. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
