West Ham United ready Aaron Wan-Bissaka paperwork after transfer twists. West Ham have all the paperwork in place to seal the signing of Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian transfer specialist reported via his personal X account [12 August] that the 26-year-old defender will complete his medical on Monday 12 August after facing a delay on Sunday 11 August [Dharmesh Sheth]. Wan-Bissaka had yet to finalise his exit terms at Old Trafford, with still a year remaining on his current contract, but those issues look to have been resolved ahead of the transfer.
It is understood that the full-back has now had his medical authorized at the London Stadium, with the Hammers set to pay £15million for the Man United man.

At last, Julen Lopetegui looks to have sealed another transfer after signing Jean-Clair Todibo, Guido Rodriguez, Niclas Fullkrug and Crysencio Summerville since the beginning of August.
Add those to Wes Foderingham, Max Kilman and Luis Guilherme, and the Spaniard has quietly completed an overhaul of the squad at the London Stadium, ready for the new Premier League season. The defence has been one of the biggest concerns heading into the summer, and those worries look to have been addressed with two star centre-backs and, soon, a new right-back.
Kurt Zouma could also be on his way out of the club, leaving just Nayef Aguerd and Konstantinos Mavropanos as the remaining centre-backs from last season, though his exit has now stalled [Florian Plettenberg].

Green light from Man United to £15m fee and medical authorized. ZERO doubts.

Wan-Bissaka will add plenty of reinforcement to both full-back positions, with the ability to deputise on either flank and will, hopefully, push Vladimir Coufal and Emerson to be even better.
Given that Man United once signed him from Crystal Palace for £50million [BBC Sport], fans will be buzzing to see the 26-year-old arrive at the London Stadium before the 2024/25 campaign kicks off.
In other West Ham news, the door has been opened to sign Sergi Roberto as a free agent.
