West Ham United are prepared to consider both permanent and loan offers for Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the club continue to work towards the defender’s departure, according to ExWHUEmployee. Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Everton and Fulham are all reported to be showing interest in the 28-year-old.
The latest Aaron Wan-Bissaka West Ham transfer update represents a significant change in the possible structure of his exit, with West Ham no longer restricted to finding a permanent buyer.
Aston Villa have already held talks over a potential deal, while Newcastle, Everton and Fulham have previously monitored his situation.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka West Ham transfer opens loan route
ExWHUEmployee reports that Wan-Bissaka remains set to leave West Ham and that both permanent and loan moves have been discussed.
West Ham value the right-back at around £25million, according to previous reporting, and his contract runs until 2031. ReadWestHam has previously examined why his performances make a sale a difficult decision, despite the club remaining open to an exit.
Aston Villa’s interest is the most recent of the four Premier League links. talkSPORT reported this week that Villa had opened talks with West Ham as Unai Emery looks to increase competition at right-back.
Newcastle, Everton and Fulham are not new names in the race. ReadWestHam reported in June that all three clubs were monitoring Wan-Bissaka, alongside interest from Sunderland and Fenerbahçe.
What has changed is West Ham’s apparent willingness to find different ways of completing his departure.
A permanent sale would provide Nuno Espírito Santo with further funds for his rebuild, but discussing a loan suggests resolving the defender’s future has become a priority even if a club does not immediately meet West Ham’s valuation.
Wan-Bissaka joined West Ham from Manchester United in 2024 on a seven-year contract and remains one of the squad’s most experienced defenders. West Ham’s official profile confirms his deal and extensive Premier League background.
ExWHUEmployee also reports that West Ham hope to move on Jean-Clair Todibo and Niclas Füllkrug before the window closes, underlining the scale of the remaining squad reshuffle.
For Wan-Bissaka, the next meaningful development will be whether one of the four interested clubs turns its interest into a formal proposal, and whether that comes as a permanent transfer or the newly discussed loan route.
