West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka could soon become part of the England squad under Thomas Tuchel.
The 27-year-old signed for the Hammers in the summer and has gone on to be a rare success story from Julen Lopetegui’s only window in charge.
The former Manchester United man has had a telling impact under new boss Graham Potter and has proven his worth at the London Stadium.
Now the Englishman will be hoping for a place in the Three Lions set-up despite failing to earn a place in Tuchel’s first squad.

Wan-Bissaka to be in next England squad
There is no doubt that the ex-Crystal Palace man has represented a step up in quality from Vladimir Coufal this season.

His qualities in defensive areas have helped on the flank while his attacking ability has surprised fans in East London at times.
This could make him a useful option at St George’s Park, especially with the likes of Reece James and Myles Lewis-Skelly getting a call-up.

Former Hammers midfielder Martin Allen believes Wan-Bissaka will take up a spot in Tuchel’s side soon.
“Wan-Bissaka has been absolutely superb over the last two months or so,” Allen told West Ham Zone.
“He’s taken on that inverted full-back role which we’ve often seen at Manchester City.
“I think it is clear to everyone that he has thrived, grown and looks like an absolute steal at £15m from Manchester United.
“He could make it into Tuchel’s next squad.”
West Ham find gem in Wan-Bissaka
The defender was constantly ridiculed during his spell at Old Trafford for his lack of attacking talent but that hasn’t been the case in East London.
This arguably allowed the Irons to sign the Englishman for such a cheap fee which represents one of the biggest bargains in the Premier League.
Wan-Bissaka on one flank and Ollie Scarles on the other represents a progressive full-back set up which could serve Potter and Co. well for years.
With Jarrod Bowen already in the England squad, the skipper could soon be joined by another London Stadium fan favourite.
