West Ham player linked with shock move to Arsenal

West Ham United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is reportedly on the radar of Arsenal this summer.

The 28-year-old right-back recently represented DR Congo at the 2026 World Cup, where they were eliminated by England at the Round of 32 stage despite a spirited performance.

Wan-Bissaka joined West Ham in the summer of 2019 for a fee of £15 million from Manchester United.

He has made 65 appearances for the Hammers across the last two seasons but he was part of the team that were relegated from the Premier League last season.

TEAMtalk have reported that a number of clubs are interested in signing Wan-Bissaka and Arsenal have now joined that list.

Championship

The Gunners are looking for competition for first-team right-back Jurrien Timber as they prepare for the defence of their Premier League title next season.

Fellow defender Ben White is expected to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer and they are monitoring the situation of a number of potential replacements.

Wan-Bissaka is believed to be available for transfer this summer as West Ham come to terms with life in the Championship.

The former Manchester United man remains one of the best one-on-one defenders in English football but a move to Arsenal would certainly be a surprise.

The likes of Everton and Fenerbahce are also interested in the defender and much will depend on whether Wan-Bissaka is happy to be Timber's understudy for Mikel Arteta's side.
