  • The move is complete: Aston Villa have signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham on a season-long loan.
  • A permanent deal is conditional: Villa say the agreement includes an obligation to buy if its conditions are met.
Development

Palace, Fulham and Brentford linked with Wan-Bissaka

Crystal Palace, Fulham and Brentford have joined Everton in the reporting around Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but only Palace are described as currently interested.

Football Insider says Palace remain admirers of their former player, while Fulham and Brentford have been linked previously. Mick Brown also claims David Moyes has spoken to West Ham contacts about a possible Everton deal and says Wan-Bissaka may prefer to remain in London.

That Everton claim still conflicts with the Liverpool Echo's report that the club are not actively pursuing him. No bid, formal negotiations, personal terms or agreement are reported, and Brown's account of a London preference is not Wan-Bissaka announcing where he wants to go.
