Julen Lopetegui’s team are also interested in signing Mazraoui but if their move for the Bayern player does not work out, they will target the signing of Wan-Bissaka.

In either case, it shows that the Hammers and Man United are both looking to add a new right-back to their squad.

West Ham need a defender like Man United right-back

It could be a win-win situation for the Hammers as they could sign one of the two defenders in any case.

Having already signed centre-back Max Kilman this summer, the Hammers now want a new right back to sort out their defensive issues.

David Moyes’ team conceded 74 goals in the Premier League last season, only the three relegated teams conceded more than that.

Lopetegui is now looking to revamp the West Ham defense as he prepares the squad for the new season.

Julen Lopetegui is very keen to strengthen West Ham’s defence ahead of the 2024/25 campaign and the Hammers are working hard to convince Man United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka to join the London club.

That is according to Football Insider, who state that the Irons are currently in discussions with the right-back’s representatives to convince their client to move to East London ahead of the new season kicking off next month.

Man United are open to letting Wan-Bissaka leave during the current transfer window as the Englishman is out of contract at Old Trafford in 2025, therefore, this summer is the ideal time for the Manchester club to cash in on the defender.

Wan-Bissaka is not a major part of Erik ten Hag’s plans at Man United despite the full-back featuring 30 times for the Dutch coach last season, while also ending the campaign as a starter.

The decision to sell the defender is with a more long-term view in mind as the Manchester club can use the money from any potential sale to strengthen their squad.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are also interested in signing the 26-year-old this summer but the player would likely want to stay in England, which gives West Ham a good chance of landing the right-back.

Bayern Munich star could play a big role in deciding the future of Man United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka

According to Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Man United and West Ham are exploring ways to get a deal for Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui done, with initial talks having already taken place.

This would have a big impact on the future of Wan-Bissaka as if the Hammers sign the Bundesliga star, that will end their interest in the United full-back.

Therefore, the English defender will be hoping that his current club win the race as that would make his future clearer as his exit from Old Trafford would almost be a certainty. There are a lot of unknowns around the future of Wan-Bissaka and it will be interesting to see where he ends up come the end of the transfer window.

West Ham in talks to sign first team Man United ace in a cut-price deal

Ahad Shaukat — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 06:21:33 +0000

West Ham United are looking to sign Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer in a bargain deal.

According to talkSPORT, Man United are eager let Wan-Bissaka leave this summer and are seeking a price of more than £15 million.

Only one year remains on Wan-Bissaka’s contract with United, who would rather sell him this summer than risk losing him for nothing at the end of the 2024–2025 campaign.

The Hammers are eager to strengthen their defense this summer and are moving forward with talks with Man United in order to finalise a deal.

Since the arrival of new manager Julen Lopetegui, the Hammers are looking to bolster their squad in all the positions.

West Ham have completed three signings in Max Guilherme, Max Kilman and Wes Foderingham.

They have signed an attacking midfielder, a centre-back and a goalkeeper. Now they want to sign a full-back in order to address a key issue facing their squad.

Man United are set to make a loss on the defender they signed from Crystal Palace but a move away from the club is best for the player and both the clubs involved.

The Red Devils are currently close to finalising a move for Lille defender Leny Yoro and a sale would free up their wage bill and help in generating funds for their transfer business.

Wan-Bissaka’s career has not progressed at Old Trafford, despite some promising signs and the Red Devils are now looking to make an attacking addition in the right-back position.

Man United defender will strengthen West Ham backline

The Hammers would be getting a solid defender who will either start above Vladimir Coufal or fight with him for a place in the starting line up.

Man United are focusing on sales now after competing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee and getting closer to welcome Yoro.

The likes of Mason Greenwood, Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Scott McTominay are all expected to be sold by the Premier League giants.

Exclusive: West Ham closing in on Man United star, 26-year-old wants transfer to happen

Darren Looney — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 14:29:35 +0000

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is closing in on a transfer to West Ham as the Hammers are close to reaching agreements with both Man United and the defender.

The Manchester club are open to selling the 26-year-old this summer and are looking to receive a transfer fee between £17m-£20m.

Sources have told CaughtOffside that talks between West Ham and Man United over Wan-Bissaka’s transfer are progressing well, and the English talent wants to complete a move to the London Stadium.

The Irons are also close to agreeing personal terms with the right-back as they have identified the Man United star as their top target to fill that role this season.

New West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui wants to strengthen his defence ahead of the 2024/25 campaign getting underway and right-back is one position that concerns the Spanish coach. The former Wolves boss feels Wan-Bissaka is perfect, hence why the Hammers are pushing for the player.

Should the deal get over the line, this would give Lopetegui the option between the Man United defender and Vladimir Coufal, which is better than what David Moyes had to choose from last season.

West Ham is the perfect club for Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Should the deal go through, this would see Wan-Bissaka bring his five-year spell at Man United to an end.

The 26-year-old has had an up-and-down time at Old Trafford, where he made 190 appearances for the Red Devils. 30 of those came last season, where the 26-year-old finished the campaign as Erik ten Hag’s starting right-back.

West Ham is a great club for Wan-Bissaka to move to next as he will get minutes and is joining a club looking to join the Premier League’s elite.

The Irons are also expected to play more attractive football under Lopetegui and that will excite the Englishman, despite being better at the defensive side of the game.

West Ham consider move for 27-year-old former Tottenham star

Charlie Patrick — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 22:49:07 +0000

West Ham are considering a move for Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters according to reports as they look for a new right back following Ben Johnson’s departure.

It’s set to be a busy summer at the London Stadium as the Hammers look to strengthen their squad ahead of Julen Lopetegui’s first season in charge.

So far the club have signed Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme, centre back Max Kilman and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, with plenty more reinforcements needed if West Ham are going to qualify for European football.

West Ham eye Walker-Peters

The Hammers are on the hunt for more depth in the right back position following Johnson’s decision to join Ipswich on a free transfer.

Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to leave the club this summer, and has been linked with a move to the London Stadium, with journalist Dean Jones reporting that West Ham view a move for Walker-Peters as easier to do.

Walker-Peters is attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

“We know that West Ham are very seriously looking for a new forward and have tried on Jhon Duran, but also we will see them kick on in their bid to find a full-back,” he told GIVEMESPORT.

“Man United are still waiting to discover whether they are serious about Wan-Bissaka.

“It has seemed like they have looked into a few other options that might be easier to do, and Kyle Walker-Peters is one of them, but certainly this is one of the areas they want to address quickly.

“Getting a deal sorted for Flynn Downes is helpful and the close-season negotiations with Southampton were always aimed at sorting out that situation before pre-season as we have reported recently.”

Walker-Peters had been linked with a possible return to Tottenham earlier in the summer, and the right back was part of the Southampton side which won promotion back to the Premier League through the play-offs last season, making 47 appearances in all competitions.

West Ham were heavily reliant on Jarrod Bowen for goals last season, and as well as having interest in Jhon Duran, they are reportedly weighing up a move for Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

£45m speedster pushing to join West Ham immediately

Mark Brus — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 12:58:41 +0000

Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is reportedly really keen to seal a transfer to West Ham this summer.

The 26-year-old joined Man Utd from Crystal Palace for £45m five years ago, but it’s fair to say he hasn’t really lived up to expectations in his time at Old Trafford and a departure could make sense for him now.

Wan-Bissaka is now keen to move back to London and reports suggest that puts West Ham in pole position to snap him up as he’s likely to be made available.

Wan-Bissaka to West Ham could end up being a smart move, as this is a player who surely has it in him to shine for a mid-table side, even if he’s never quite looked good enough for a club like United.

West Ham will be hoping this can be the start of an exciting new era under new manager Julen Lopetegui, and a proven Premier League talent like this could be a smart first signing.

Kyle Walker-Peters has also been linked with the Hammers in that position, so it might be that they have other options in case this deal doesn’t work out.

It will be interesting to see if anyone else strongly enters the running for Wan-Bissaka, who has also been linked with clubs in Turkey in recent times.

Stuart Pearce claims £90k-per-week Man United star is joining West Ham

Andrew Walker — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 11:38:54 +0000

Despite already making one defensive signing after landing Max Kilman from Wolves, Stuart Pearce believes West Ham are primed to add another defender to their ranks ahead of the new season.

The Hammers have not been shy in the summer transfer market. Signing Kilman from Wolves in a deal worth around £30 million, Julen Lopetegui is clearly prioritising reinforcing his back line.

And in addition to Kilman, Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is rumoured to be another top target for the London-based giants.

Speaking about the possibility of his former club signing the English right-back, who is thought to earn around £90,000-per week at Old Trafford, Pearce, who spoke to HITC, said: “I think (Wan-Bissaka) it would be a really good move for both club and player.”

Since joining the Red Devils from Crystal Palace in 2019, Wan-Bissaka, who has 12 months left on his contract, has directly contributed to 15 goals in 290 games in all competitions.

West Ham offered real hope in chase for 26-year-old Man United ace

Jason Pettigrove — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:39:21 +0000

It’s a summer of change at both West Ham United and Manchester United, but for differing reasons.

The Red Devils, after debating long and hard, decided to stick with Erik ten Hag as their manager, and with INEOS now backing the club, they can move forward in the transfer market and start to, hopefully, get United back to where they belong at the summit of English football.

West Ham chasing Man United’s Wan-Bissaka

From West Ham’s point of view, they’re going in a totally different direction, with Tim Steidten brokering deals for players whilst new man in charge, Julen Lopetegui, looks to bring them further success on the pitch.

Key to how well the Spaniard fares will be the way in which his teams play football.

He’s known for a high pressing, front foot game, and that will delight the East London faithful who’ve had to put up with a stale and boring brand of football under David Moyes.

Clearly, both clubs will need to do some decent business in the transfer window, and one player could be swapping Manchester for East London.

According to Stretty News sources, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who only has a year left on his current Man United contract (BBC Sport), wants a move back to London but former club, Crystal Palace, have yet to show their hand.

The Daily Mail suggest that West Ham and Galatasaray are tracking the 26-year-old, but given his clear preference to return to the English capital, that would put the Hammers in the box seat.

At present it isn’t known how much Man United will demand for Wan-Bissaka’s services, though his contract situation dictates that it’s unlikely to be prohibitive.

West Ham tracking 26-year-old Man United ace ahead of potential move

Saikat Chatterjee — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 12:20:54 +0000

West Ham United are keen on signing the Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The 26-year-old full-back has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford and the Hammers are looking to bring him to the club this summer. They have been linked with the former Crystal Palace defender when David Moyes was in charge of the club as well.

It seems that West Ham remain keen on signing the full-back and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. According to a report from Daily Mail, the Hammers are tracking the defender this summer.

West Ham could certainly use more quality in the defensive unit and the 26-year-old could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them. He has proven himself to be a reliable defender in the Premier League and he will certainly help the Hammers tighten up at the back. The player has been criticised for his lack of end product going forward, but he could thrive at a team like West Ham.

At Manchester United, full-backs are expected to contribute equally at both ends of the pitch, but Wan-Bissaka is more of a defensive right-back, who could excel at a mid-table club.

West Ham could use Aaron Wan-Bissaka

It will be interesting to see if West Ham can secure an agreement with Manchester United over a reasonable fee for the defender. He is at the peak of his powers right now, and he could transform the Hammers defensively.

West Ham will be hoping to compete in European football regularly and they need to improve their squad in order to sustain that level of performance every season. Signing the 26-year-old would be a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, Manchester United could look to sell him and sign someone with a more balanced skill set this summer.

West Ham plan signing of £50m Man Utd man who’s been made available

Mark Brus — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 10:09:02 +0000

West Ham United are reportedly planning the transfer of Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer as he’s been made available.

The Hammers have just lost Ben Johnson and it makes sense that they’re in the market for a new signing in that position.

Wan-Bissaka has been a solid if unspectacular performer during his five years at Man Utd, so he’s perhaps not quite at the level required to carry on being a regular for the Red Devils.

West Ham, however, could be a good destination for Wan-Bissaka as he’s more of a mid-table club player, but would also bring Julen Lopetegui a much-needed proven and experienced Premier League player.
