Aston Villa agree loan-to-buy move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aston Villa are set to complete the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham after all parties reached an agreement for the right-back, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 28-year-old has accepted the project put forward by the Birmingham club and is expected to join on a season-long loan that includes an obligation to buy. Aston Villa, West Ham and the player have now reached a full agreement, leaving the transfer in its final stages.

Wan-Bissaka has also been given permission to undergo a medical. Provided there are no complications during those checks, he will soon become an Aston Villa player and continue his Premier League career with a third English club.

The move would add further experience to Aston Villa’s options on the right side of defence. Wan-Bissaka has spent his entire senior career in the English top flight, having established himself at Crystal Palace before moving to Manchester United. He joined West Ham after his spell at Manchester United and now appears ready for another change of colours.

His current market value is estimated at 15m euros by Transfermarkt. Aston Villa see his familiarity with the demands of the Premier League as an important advantage as they prepare to strengthen their squad.

The agreement is structured differently from a straightforward temporary move because Aston Villa will be required to make the transfer permanent once the relevant conditions are met. The precise details of those conditions have not been provided, but the three-way agreement means the club can now concentrate on completing the medical and the final administrative steps.

The proposed move comes shortly before Brighton are due to play Aston Villa in the opening round of the English championship. For that fixture, betting company 1xBet lists Brighton as the slight favourites at odds of 2.20. A draw is priced at 3.50, while an Aston Villa victory is offered at 2.95.

Unless the medical reveals an unexpected issue, the defender should soon be confirmed as Aston Villa’s latest reinforcement. His arrival would give the club a right-back with extensive Premier League experience at a time when Aston Villa are preparing for the new campaign and looking to add depth to their defensive options.
