Wan-Bissaka is linked with a move to Everton
The former Manchester United winger is available for a cheap £10m
The defender is also in the DR Congo squad for the World Cup
Everton need a right‑back desperately for the next season. Seamus Coleman is leaving the club after an amazing 17 years service while Nathan Patterson is also expected to leave for Rangers ahead of the next season.
Jake O’Brien played at right-back last season but he is a centre‑back. So David Moyes has made signing a proper right‑back a priority. According to Telegraph Sport, Everton have targeted Aaron Wan‑Bissaka in a £10m deal. West Ham need to sell after going down.
Everton have targeted Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a £10m deal as clubs circle around West Ham following their relegation from the Premier League.

West Ham needs to sell players
West Ham finished in the relegation zone and will be in the Championship after 17 years. Relegation has cost the club £100m, which they aim to raise by selling players. They need to raise around £150m from player sales to balance the books.
Jarrod Bowen and Mateus Fernandes are also expected to leave the Hammers. Jarrod Bowen was previously linked with a move to Everton as well.
Wan‑Bissaka joined West Ham from Manchester United in 2024 for £15m. He made 190 appearances for United before making the switch to the London club.
This season, Wan‑Bissaka registered two assists in 23 league games for West Ham while he has eight assists in 65 appearances in his West Ham career.
Wan-Bissaka, after being told he was behind the pecking order in the England national team, switched his nationality to DR Congo. He has also been named in DR Congo’s 26‑man squad for the World Cup next month and Everton would be hoping to wrap a deal for the defender soon, as many clubs are circling around the Congo right-back.
What Wan‑Bissaka would bring to Everton
Everton have not had a natural right‑back for the last season. Jake O’Brien filled in the spot as a makeshift option but David Moyes needs a proper signing there. Someone who can defend strong and provide some width upfront.
Wan‑Bissaka has shown that he is good at tackling. He is good in one‑on‑one situations as well. Although he does not get forward a lot, he puts in lots of crosses. That increases his attacking output to a great extent with a target man in the centre of the box.
The main aspect David Moyes might be looking is that he stops wingers. That is what Moyes wants from his full‑backs. A solid defender who does his job.
At £10m, he is cheap. Everton have spent more on players who have done less. West Ham need the money to balance their books, while Everton need a quality right‑back. It makes sense for everyone.
Everton will want to get this done quickly. If they wait, other clubs might jump in. For a proven Premier League defender at that price, it is a smart move. Moyes has built his best teams on signings like this. Wan‑Bissaka in an Everton shirt could be one of the bargains of the summer.
