West Ham United have strengthened their squad with the acquisition of right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The 26-year-old Londoner joins the Hammers from Manchester United on a seven-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

A product of Crystal Palace’s academy, Wan-Bissaka has been a Premier League mainstay since breaking into the first team at the age of 19.

His five-year spell at Manchester United saw him establish himself as one of the league’s premier one-on-one defenders.

The defender lifted the FA Cup and EFL Cup during his time at Old Trafford and also reached a Europa League final.

The right-back was drawn to the camaraderie within the West Ham squad. “I see a team that is united and determined to succeed,” he added. “I’m excited to contribute to that winning mentality.”
