Dithering Dave? Not this time. According to a number of reports, David Moyes is suddenly showing a rare burst of urgency as the battle for Aaron Wan‑Bissaka heats up. And with Fenerbahce also monitoring the player, Moyes knows he can’t afford to sit back and watch the Turkish giants steal a player he has admired for some time.
Turkish interest in our players was inevitable, as I predicted in a previous article.
Wan‑Bissaka, 28, contracted to the Hammers until 2031, was earning a reported salary of £90k a week which has been cut by 50% following West Ham’s relegation. Everton believe they can match or slightly improve his former Premier League wages to lure him to Goodison Park. The Toffees see him as a ready‑made upgrade at right‑back, and their interest has forced Moyes into action.
Wan Bissaka will likely be sold in the summer – but to whom?
For once, the man long nicknamed Dithering Dave is anything but. Moyes is pushing to keep himself relevant in a window that could define the Toffees season. Wan‑Bissaka at £15m represents smart, Premier League‑proven value, exactly the sort of deal Moyes hates to miss.
The Congo international is expected to be among the first players to leave West Ham, especially with Kyle Walker‑Peters likely to become Nuno’s first‑choice option next season.
This time, “Dithering Dave” isn’t dithering. But he may still need to move faster than Fenerbahce.
