Aston Villa agree deal for West Ham's Wan-Bissaka

Aston Villa have reached an agreement to sign West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. The DR Congo right-back, 28, has been granted permission to undergo a medical in the Midlands, though the exact terms of the transfer remain undisclosed. West Ham recently sold Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville for substantial fees, but captain Jarrod Bowen has signed a new contract.

Meanwhile, Villa have had an active transfer window, signing midfielders Johan Manzambi and Joao Gomes, as well as Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho on loan with an obligation to purchase. They have also added young centre-back Modou Keba Cisse and begin their Premier League campaign against Brighton on Sunday.
