West Ham reportedly offer Wan-Bissaka to Arsenal

Mail Online reportedly says West Ham have offered Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Arsenal.

Claret&Hugh, which relays the claim, openly doubts the rumour. The Mail report also says Arsenal have not dismissed the proposal, but reports no bid, personal terms or agreement.

For now, this is a claimed proposal from West Ham rather than an Arsenal move for the player.
