There are now 4 Premier League clubs pursuing West Ham right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to insider ExWHUEmployee.
Writing on The West Ham Way Patreon (quotes via their website), Ex said that the race is heating up for the former Manchester United player:
“Aaron Wan-Bissaka is another player set to leave with Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle and Fulham all said to have interest. Both loan and permanent deals have been spoken of.”
Fabrizio Romano reported earlier this week that Villa were the team likeliest to sign the Republic of Congo international, but there seems to be plenty of competition.
West Ham will be hoping for a permanent exit
Ex suggests that some of the clubs interested in Wan-Bissaka are lining up loan offers, which is unlikely to be acceptable to the Hammers, unless they include purchase clauses.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will be seeking to raise funds from his departure. When Arsenal were linked with the 28-year-old a few weeks ago, the asking price set was £25m.
Wan-Bissaka is now surplus to requirements following Joel Veltman’s arrival from Brighton. The Dutchman will be competing with Kyle Walker-Peters for starting opportunities.

2 others could leave the London Stadium along with Wan-Bissaka
In addition to the fullback, West Ham are hopeful of finding suitors for Jean-Clair Todibo and Niclas Fullkrug. Both have attracted interest from Italy.
Juventus were mentioned as possible suitors for Todibo, having explored a move for the Frenchman in the past, but they may only want a loan deal.
Fullkrug was being pursued by newly promoted Serie A outfit Venezia, but they have opted against signing the striker after refusing to match the Irons’ asking price.
