Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to be among the first players to leave West Ham United following their relegation from the Premier League, with both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reportedly monitoring his situation. TEAMtalk understands that West Ham are now willing to consider offers for the 28-year-old, who arrived at the London Stadium last year.
Despite having five years remaining on his current contract, Wan-Bissaka’s wages are set to decrease following the club’s demotion to the Championship. West Ham’s hierarchy are keen to reduce their wage bill, and Wan-Bissaka is considered a realistic high-profile departure due to emerging interest from several clubs. The Hammers are likely to accept a fee of around £10 million, acknowledging that any potential buyer would also assume a significant salary commitment.
Wan-Bissaka began his career at Crystal Palace before moving to Manchester United, where he established himself as a Premier League player. While occasionally criticised for his attacking contributions, he is still highly regarded as a strong one-versus-one defender. Former West Ham manager David Moyes is known to be an admirer of the player.
Everton, under Moyes, are prioritising the addition of a new right-back, and Wan-Bissaka’s availability for £10 million could prove attractive. However, competition is increasing, with Newcastle United, Fulham, and Sunderland also expressing interest. Tottenham are believed to value Wan-Bissaka’s defensive qualities and versatility, while Newcastle seek to bolster their defensive depth. Fulham are looking for experienced Premier League players, and Sunderland’s interest reflects their ambition after promotion.
Wan-Bissaka has also become a regular for the DR Congo national team and is expected to feature in the upcoming World Cup finals, potentially raising his profile further. West Ham are preparing for a significant overhaul following relegation, and Wan-Bissaka appears likely to be one of the first senior players to depart.
