West Ham could ask for Nelson Semedo if Fenerbahce step up their interest in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to reports.
Writing on The West Ham Way Patreon (quotes via their website), ExWHUEmployee revealed that Nuno Espirito Santo could be reunited with one of his former players:

“Semedo played for Wolves under Nuno and, in fact, scored in Nuno’s last game as their manager. He also is from the same agency as Nuno and his trusted agent, Jorge Mendes.”
“Whilst the Portuguese fullback is 32 now, he could offer a good solution to Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s departure and be used within the deal. Without players included, the club will be looking for between £15m-£20m for the full back, and he will also be going to the World Cup where he can further showcase his ability.”
Wan-Bissaka does have other suitors
Ex also confirmed that four other clubs are interested in signing the former Manchester United player.
Everton’s pursuit of Wan-Bissaka is already known, but it is believed that Sunderland, Newcastle and Fulham are keen on the fullback too.

There will be an exodus of players from West Ham
The Hammers reportedly need between £100m and £150m from player sales over the next few months, and it means that, effectively, most of the first-team squad is up for sale.
Mateus Fernandes is expected to fetch the most money, while the club are hoping to raise a good amount from the departure of Crysencio Summerville – around £35m.
Jean-Clair Todibo, Alphonse Areola, Max Kilman and Niclas Fullkrug are also on the chopping block, along with Wan-Bissaka.
A handful of players could be retained, including captain Jarrod Bowen, Tomas Soucek and Konstantinos Mavropanos, but a lot still depends on what offers are received over the coming days and weeks.
