Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s long-awaited transfer from Manchester United to West Ham United is complete.
It’s a deal that has dragged on for large parts of the summer and, at one stage, there was a fear that a deal might not get over the line.
But Wan-Bissaka is now a West Ham player and ready to showcase to his new fans what he is all about because this is a top purchase for Julen Lopetegui’s new-look side.
Sources have told HITC that Wan-Bissaka has joined West Ham in a £15 million deal, with £3 million in add-ons.
You can tell by the reaction of the Manchester United players what type of character and player the right-back is, including his former captain, Bruno Fernandes.
The 26-year-old is probably the best one-v-one defender in the Premier League and if there is anyone better, then he has won countless trophies at Manchester City.
Nonetheless, Wan-Bissaka took to Instagram to express his delight at his move to the London Stadium when Fernandes sent him a message West Ham fans will just love.

Fernandes wrote in the comments section of Wan-Bissaka’s IG post: ‘London ain’t ready for the spider,’ added with a fire emoji.
Aston Villa’s Ian Maatsen also reacted to the move by posting: ‘Congrats, bro’, with Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga adding: ‘It’s time, bro’.
West Ham United’s summer transfer window
West Ham could argue they have had the best window out of anyone and they might yet add more faces to their squad.
First of all, the best piece of business the club has done, after finishing outside of Europe, is keeping hold of their star players.

And now West Ham have secured the signing of Max Kilman, who was the first to arrive following his transfer from Wolves.
The man who will partner Kilman at the heart of West Ham’s defence is Jean-Clair Todibo.
West Ham hijacked Juventus’ move for Todibo and that’s three new faces who have arrived and ready to refresh a backline that conceded the fourth-most goals last term.
