West Ham United have made six additions so far this summer and they’re continuing to persist for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Julen Lopetegui is expected to move to a possession-based approach and as such, he’s brought in a number of new profiles.
Max Kilman, who he worked with at Wolves, has come in to help facilitate playing out from the back and now he wants to add Wan-Bissaka to replace Vladimir Coufal.
With that said, Romano has now provided the latest update on their pursuit of the United defender.

Fabrizio Romano says Aaron Wan-Bissaka talks are going well
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has now shared the latest update on West Ham’s bid to sign Wan-Bissaka.
“For the case of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, there is a conversation ongoing with West Ham,” Romano told GiveMeSport.
“West Ham are negotiating directly with Manchester United, and there is a feeling that they can reach an agreement between clubs, because Manchester United want to sell Wan-Bissaka.
“He has one year left on his contract at the moment and is not even close to extending his deal. And for Manchester United, it’s crucial to sell Wan-Bissaka in order to bring Noussair Mazraoui to the club. So now, club-to-club, the discussion is going well.”
The former Crystal Palace defender is expected to cost around £15m, which is a significant drop from the £50m United spent on him five years ago.
