Aaron Wan-Bissaka is likely to depart West Ham United following their relegation from the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton among the clubs interested in signing the defender, according to TEAMtalk. The 28-year-old only joined the Hammers last year, but the club are now prepared to consider offers as they begin a significant rebuild for life in the Championship.
Wan-Bissaka still has five years remaining on his contract at the London Stadium, however, his wages are set to decrease following the club’s demotion. West Ham’s hierarchy are reportedly keen to reduce their wage bill and view Wan-Bissaka as a realistic high-profile exit due to the emerging interest from other Premier League clubs.
The Hammers are expected to seek a fee of around £10million for Wan-Bissaka, reflecting the financial commitment of taking on his salary. This valuation has attracted attention from several clubs, who see it as a potential bargain for a player with considerable Premier League experience.
Everton manager David Moyes, who previously managed West Ham, is known to be an admirer of Wan-Bissaka. Everton are prioritizing the addition of a new right-back and the opportunity to sign the player for £10million could prove appealing. However, competition is growing, with Tottenham, Newcastle United, Fulham, and Sunderland also expressing interest.
Tottenham are believed to value Wan-Bissaka’s defensive capabilities and versatility. Newcastle are looking to strengthen their defensive depth ahead of another demanding season, while Fulham are assessing experienced Premier League additions. Sunderland’s interest indicates their ambition following promotion back to the top flight. Wan-Bissaka has also become a regular in the DR Congo national team and is expected to feature in the upcoming World Cup finals, potentially increasing his profile further.
West Ham are bracing for significant changes both on and off the pitch following relegation, and Wan-Bissaka appears increasingly likely to be one of the first senior players to leave the club.
