West Ham United are pushing to finalise a deal for Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has now confirmed that his medical has been delayed.
Wan-Bissaka might not find himself playing as a guaranteed starter for United next season with Diogo Dalot still at Old Trafford and Noussair Mazraoui close to completing a move to Old Trafford. West Ham are likely to be able to offer the right-back regular minutes, so it could be a smart move for all parties involved.
Wan-Bissaka’s Medical Delayed at West Ham
The Hammers are trying to finalise a deal
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has now provided an update on West Ham’s pursuit of Wan-Bissaka, confirming that his 4pm medical has now been delayed, but he is still expected to travel to London. West Ham are hopeful of being able to strike deal, but talks are ongoing with terms yet to be finalised…
“UPDATE: Aaron Wan-Bissaka still finalising his exit terms from Manchester United. Medical due for 4pm has been now delayed. He is still expected to travel to London this evening as those terms are finalised. West Ham remain hopeful a deal will still be struck.”
| Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s Manchester United Stats (2023-24 Premier League) | |
|---|---|
| Games | 22 |
| Assists | 2 |
| Key passes per 90 | 0.61 |
| Tackles per 90 | 2.12 |
| Interceptions per 90 | 2.07 |
| Aerial duels won per 90 | 1.06 |
It’s potentially a slightly worrying update for West Ham fans who will undoubtedly be hoping to see Wan-Bissaka arrive through the door as soon as possible. Although the Hammers are still confident of being able to finalise a deal, but West Ham supporters won’t rest easy until a deal has been officially announced.
The Athletic journalist David Ornstein recently reported that a deal worth £15m had been agreed, but a move was subject to Wan-Bissaka agreeing his Manchester United termination. Discussions were also ongoing regarding the length of the contract, so it will be interesting to see whether they can get this deal over the line.
