CONFIRMED: AWB Joins West Ham - Noucamp99 - 13-08-2024
We've not done one of these for while...
West Ham United have signed defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United for £15m.
The 26-year-old has penned a seven-year deal with the Hammers.
Wan-Bissaka left Crystal Palace for Manchester United in a £50m move in 2019 and scored two goals in 190 appearances for the Red Devils.
"It was a no brainer for me to join West Ham - I'm excited and happy to be here," said Wan-Bissaka.
"I can't wait to get on the pitch, get to know the players, and push on from there.
"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, so being part of that and having that insurance helps a lot when you are surrounded by a good squad."
Wan-Bissaka, who was born in London, added it was an "amazing feeling" to return to the capital.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed Wan-Bissaka when he was Manchester United manager in 2019 and the defender was first choice until the Norwegian's departure in 2021.
Wan-Bissaka lost his regular starting position after Erik ten Hag's appointment in 2022,al though he still managed 64 appearances under the Dutchman in the past two seasons.
