West Ham United are pushing to sign Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has now reported that he is set to undergo a medical on Monday after agreeing all aspects of the deal.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, West Ham are set to pay a fee of around £15m to sign Wan-Bissaka this summer. The English right-back is known for his defensive capabilities rather than attacking threat like many modern full-backs, but there are certain systems where he can flourish.
With Erik ten Hag’s Man Utd, they are clearly going in a different direction with their full-backs, bringing in Mazraoui who is more of an attacking profile. Julen Lopetegui clearly prefers a full-back who defends first, and Wan-Bissaka is one of the best in the world when it comes to one-versus-one defending.
