West Ham United want to land Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a deal that will allow the Red Devils to sign Noussair Mazraoui.
- Wan-Bissaka wanted by Premier League side
- Man Utd could fund right-back pursuit
- Deals tipped to happen 'in the next days'
WHAT HAPPENED?
With a deal for OGC Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo nearing completion, Fabrizio Romano has reported that West Ham's attention is turning to Wan-Bissaka. The club could even secure a transfer for the Manchester United right-back "in the next days" if things go to plan. The flipside of that is it frees up the Old Trafford to side to secure Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
United fans might consider Mazraoui, who previously worked with Erik ten Hag at Ajax, to be an upgrade on Wan-Bissaka following inconsistent performances, limited attacking output and frustrating injury trouble in recent seasons. As for West Ham, right-back recruitment is a must after releasing Ben Johnson and selling Thilo Kehrer so far this summer. The Hammers had been linked with England veteran Kieran Trippier earlier this week as Vladimir Coufal is suddenly the only specialist in the position.
DID YOU KNOW?
By offloading Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, Willy Kambwala and Alvaro Fernandez so far this summer, United have raised just over £50 million ($64m) in transfer fees - including add-ons. Incoming deals for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro have totalled around £95m ($121m) - also including add-ons.
WHAT NEXT?
If things do move as quickly as reported, Wan-Bissaka could feasibly be part of West Ham's squad for their Premier League opener against Aston Villa on August 17. Similarly, Mazraoui could end up being involved when United host Fulham next Friday.
