Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Defender · West Ham United
Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to leave West Ham United in the 2026 summer window, with Aston Villa, Newcastle, Everton and Fulham all showing interest in the £25m-valued defender.
Career
Wan-Bissaka came through Crystal Palace's academy and earned a big-money move to Manchester United in 2019, where he spent five seasons known for his defensive discipline.
He joined West Ham United on a permanent deal in 2024, becoming a regular starter at right-back under successive managers.
By August 2026, with his West Ham future unresolved, multiple Premier League clubs were pursuing both loan and permanent deals for the 28-year-old.
How they play
One of the Premier League's most tenacious one-on-one defenders, Wan-Bissaka is renowned for his tackling technique and recovery pace, though his attacking output has historically been limited.
Where they are now
As of mid-August 2026, West Ham were fielding both loan and permanent offers for Wan-Bissaka, with Fulham pushing a loan structure and Aston Villa seen as the more likely permanent destination.
