West Ham Have One Key Factor In Their Favour As They Try To Land 50M Defender On Loan Deal

West Ham are favourites to sign Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka due to having a good relationship with the player’s representatives, according to reports in England.

Unique Sports Management represent Hammers trio Aaron Cresswell, Maxwel Cornet and Michail Antonio, and they also act as the agent for Wan-Bissaka.

The fullback has been tipped to return to Crystal Palace; the team which United signed him from for £50m back in 2019, but West Ham may be able to edge ahead of the Eagles in the race for the player’s signature.

Manager David Moyes is keen on reinforcing his options on the right flank, with Vladimir Coufal expected to leave the London Stadium in January if the right offer is tabled.

The Irons are believed to be interested in agreeing a loan deal for Wan-Bissaka, but it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are open to a temporary move. Up until now, it has been reported that Erik ten Hag’s side would only consider a permanent sale.
