West Ham have been involved in negotiations with Manchester United for Aaron Wan-Bissaka since a few weeks. The Hammers agreed personal terms with Wan-Bissaka previously but were yet to agree with Manchester United on the transfer fee.

There were reports suggesting that Italian Champions Inter Milan are also interested in Wan-Bissaka and are also willing to do a swap deal with Manchester United involving Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Denzel Dumfries. This led to West Ham considering signing Kieran Trippier as Wan-Bissaka's alternative this summer.

This is a massive signing for West Ham who only had Vladimir Coufal for the right back position. Recently, West Ham signed Nice centre back Jean-Clair Todibo as well and now the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka will improve the defence that conceded 74 goals in the Premier League last season.

Further, Wan-Bissaka is a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal as the 26-year-old has great recovery pace and is a quality defender as well. Now, West Ham have improved their defence as well ahead of the new Premier League season.
