West Ham advancing in Wan-Bissaka dealMan Utd willing to negotiate cut-price feeWill take huge loss on original ÂŁ50m purchaseWHAT HAPPENED?
The Hammers are keen to bolster their defence this summer and are pushing ahead in negotiations with Manchester United to get a deal over the line, according to talkSPORT. Wan-Bissaka could move to East London for as little as £15 million (€17.8m/ $19.5m), meaning the Red Devils would take a massive loss on the original £50m (€59.5m/$65.1m) they paid for the former Crystal Palace man in 2019.

While they are almost guaranteed to take a loss on Wan-Bissaka, it is a deal that would suit both parties. West Ham are getting a quality player to provide competition or even replace Vladimir Coufal, while Manchester United can free up some room for the incoming Leny Yoro, who is completing his medical ahead of a move from Lille.
DID YOU KNOW?
Wan-Bissaka was a regular starter at Old Trafford when he was not injured last season. However, with just one year left on his contract, he looks set to end his five-year stay in Manchester. The England international was part of the squad that won the FA Cup against rivals Manchester City a few months ago but that will likely be his last outing in a red shirt.

A deal has not yet been finalised and there is no word on whether Wan-Bissaka would be up for returning to the capital. As it stands, he is set to embark on the club's pre-season tour to the US, but things could change if an official bid is submitted by the Hammers soon.
