West Ham's Wan‑Bissaka joins Aston Villa on loan
DR Congo right-back Aaron Wan‑Bissaka arrives at Villa Park on an initial loan deal with a "conditional obligation to buy".
Aston Villa have finalized the signing of West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka on a season-long loan, with the option to buy. The terms of the deal, which includes a potential £25m fee, are undisclosed. Last season, Villa loaned Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott with a similar buy clause, but the move did not materialize as Elliott played only four games.
Wan-Bissaka missed West Ham's opening two matches while negotiations for his return to the Premier League were ongoing. The 28-year-old joined West Ham from Manchester United in 2024, playing 65 times over two seasons, including 25 last year when the team were relegated. Wan-Bissaka represented DR Congo at the 2026 World Cup, contributing to their progress to the round of 32.
He is set to make his debut for Villa in their opening match at Brighton and will also participate in the Champions League following their Europa League triumph last term.
