West Ham United are set to complete the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka after agreeing personal terms with the Manchester United defender.

The Athletic reported on Saturday that West Ham and United had struck an agreement on a £15million fee for the 26-year-old full-back.

He will undergo a medical on Monday before finalising his move to east London.

Successful talks between Wan-Bissaka’s representatives and West Ham took place on Sunday evening to resolve issues that had threatened to delay the move.

Wan-Bissaka will sign a five-year contract at the London Stadium.

West Ham have been keen to strengthen their right-back options this summer after versatile full-back Ben Johnson joined Ipswich Town on a free transfer.

Wan-Bissaka will become the third defensive reinforcement to be added to new head coach Julen Lopetegui’s squad following the summer arrivals of Max Kilman from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Jean-Clair Tobido from Nice.

The 26-year-old joined United from Crystal Palace in 2019 for an initial transfer fee of £45m, with another £5m due in potential bonuses.

He has made 190 first-team appearances for United across his five seasons at the club, scoring twice.

Diogo Dalot has often been preferred in the right-back position at United by manager Erik ten Hag, with Wan-Bissaka spending much of the 2023-24 season deputising at left-back for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia — both of whom had long-term injuries.
