Aston Villa have reached an agreement to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham United, with the transfer now at the final stages.
The deal, according to transfer information, has been agreed between all parties and will see the England international join Villa on an initial loan arrangement containing a mandatory purchase clause.
Wan-Bissaka has also given the green light to Aston Villa’s project, paving the way for the move to be completed.
The agreement represents a significant addition to Villa’s defensive options, with the experienced right-back set to bring his pace, defensive strength and Premier League experience to Unai Emery’s squad.
The 28-year-old began his professional career at Crystal Palace before moving to Manchester United in 2019. He later joined West Ham, where he continued his Premier League career.
At Aston Villa, Wan-Bissaka is expected to provide competition and depth at right-back while offering Emery another experienced option for both domestic and European commitments.
The agreement between Villa, West Ham and the player means the transfer is now moving towards completion, with the mandatory buy clause ensuring the temporary move is expected to become a permanent transfer once the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
The deal has been described as a “here we go” transfer, signalling that an agreement is in place and that Wan-Bissaka is on course to become an Aston Villa player.
For Villa, the move underlines their continued efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign, while Wan-Bissaka now looks set for another chapter in his Premier League career at Villa Park.
