West Ham weigh move for Manchester City defender Issa Kabore amid Wan-Bissaka uncertainty

West Ham are considering a move for Manchester City right-back Issa Kabore as they plan for the possible departure of Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer, according to reports in England.

Information shared by X account Irons Watch claims the 25-year-old Burkina Faso international is among the leading options under review as the London club look to reshape their right flank ahead of the transfer window.

Kabore, who is on the books at Manchester City, is admired by West Ham for his pace, physical power and high-energy attacking contribution down the right side. Those attributes are seen as fitting the profile of a squad seeking fresh impetus in wide defensive areas.

Club officials are understood to view Kabore as a potentially attractive solution, both in terms of age and style of play, as they draw up contingency plans should Wan-Bissaka leave the club in the coming months.

Competition from English clubs

West Ham, however, are not alone in monitoring Kabore’s situation.

Several English sides are also following the right-back, who has yet to establish himself at Manchester City but continues to draw interest for his performances and international experience with Burkina Faso.

Derby County and Wrexham are both reported to be keeping a close eye on developments and could move for the defender during the summer window if an opportunity arises.

West Bromwich Albion have also entered the picture. As reported exclusively by Africafoot, the Championship club are tracking Kabore closely and may decide to join the race to sign him.

Future still open for Burkina Faso international

With a number of suitors emerging, Kabore’s next club remains undecided.

The defender is expected to assess the various options available before making a decision on the project that best suits the next stage of his career.

Given his international pedigree and perceived potential, Kabore is viewed as a player to watch as the summer transfer period progresses, with West Ham and their English rivals all waiting to see how his situation at Manchester City develops before the end of the window.
