Soocer – West Ham acquire Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a right back, has been acquired by West Ham United from Manchester United on a seven-year contract, the London Premier League club announced on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old, who was in the final year of his contract at United, received a deal valued at approximately 15 million pounds ($19.19 million).

Wan-Bissaka began his professional career at Crystal Palace before joining United in 2019. He participated in 190 matches for the Manchester club and contributed to their victory in the FA Cup last season.

“I see a team that is in it together, that will push each other to win, and a group that has got each others’ backs through thick and thin,” Wan-Bissaka stated in an official statement.

“It was a no brainer for me to join West Ham – I’m excited and happy to be here.”

West Ham, who finished ninth in the previous season, will commence their Premier League campaign against Aston Villa at home on Saturday under the guidance of new coach Julen Lopetegui.
