West Ham United have opened talks over a deal for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to talkSPORT.

The Red Devils are open to selling Wan-Bissaka this summer and are seeking a fee of over £15 million for him.

The former Crystal Palace defender joined Man United in a big-money move worth around £50 million in 2019.

He struggled to cement a regular starting spot last season, with United boss Erik ten Hag often preferring Diogo Dalot.

A move to West Ham could offer Wan-Bissaka a fresh start and the opportunity to rediscover his best form.

West Ham are in the market for reinforcements at right-back, with Vladimir Coufal entering the twilight of his career and Ben Johnson leaving the club.

The Hammers were reportedly in talks with Southampton for right-back Kyle Walker-Peters, but they have now turned their attention to Wan-Bissaka.

New manager Julen Lopetegui is reportedly a massive fan of Wan-Bissaka, having tried to sign him at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The manager likes his ability to lock down the flank even though his attacking contributions are less than ideal.

Wan-Bissaka made 22 Premier League appearances last term, recording only two assists while helping the Red Devils keep three clean sheets.

The Croydon-born defender won 59% of his duels in the league and played a crucial role as they defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

West Ham hope to pip Galatasaray, AC Milan and several Premier League clubs to Wan-Bissaka’s signature in the coming days.
