West Ham ready to cash in on Aaron Wan-Bissaka after relegation

West Ham United are open to selling defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka and will set an asking price of £25 million.

The Championship side are yet to receive any formal enquiries for the 28-year-old right-back despite a flurry of top-flight interest.

Wan-Bissaka, whose contract does not expire until the summer of 2031, has made 65 appearances across all competitions since joining from Manchester United for £15 million in August 2024.

However, the club’s recent relegation to the second tier has forced a reconsideration of his long-term future in East London.

Premier League Interest Swirls

A drop down to the Championship was never part of the DR Congo international’s career plan, making a summer exit highly expected.

Several Premier League clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation as they search for proven defensive reinforcements.

Arsenal has shortlisted Wan-Bissaka as a potential option to fill the defensive void left by Ben White’s knee injury.

Concurrently, Everton remains in the market for an established right-back and could challenge the Gunners for his signature.

Valuation and Standstill

The £25 million valuation represents a significant profit margin on the initial fee West Ham paid two years ago.

While the Hammers are eager to balance their books to offset the heavy costs of relegation, no suitor has stepped forward with an official bid.

Interested parties may be hesitating due to the high asking price for a player in a relegated squad, or his long-term contract structure.

Wan-Bissaka’s stellar individual performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for DR Congo have kept his stock high, leaving West Ham holding firm on their valuation as the summer transfer window progresses.
