West Ham United are in advanced discussions with Manchester United over a deal for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to a report.

West Ham United are reportedly in advanced discussions with Manchester United over a deal for English right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The 26-year-old has made 190 appearances for Man United since his arrival from Crystal Palace in 2019, and he enjoyed a strong first two seasons at Old Trafford.

Wan-Bissaka has found it difficult to show his best form over the last three campaigns, though, with his suitability for the Red Devils long called into question.

The right-back did make 30 appearances last season, but he was a huge beneficiary of the team's injury problems and is unlikely to have received too much action had Luke Shaw or Tyrell Malacia been fit.

Wan-Bissaka has been linked with a return to Selhurst Park, while there have also been claims that Barcelona are keeping a close eye on his situation at Old Trafford.

West Ham 'nearing' agreement for Wan-Bissaka

However, according to talkSPORT, West Ham are now closing in on an agreement with Man United for the full-back.

The report claims that the Red Devils are looking for a fee of around £15m for Wan-Bissaka, and the Hammers are said to be prepared to meet that figure.

As a result, a deal could go through relatively quickly, with Wan-Bissaka's final match for Man United potentially being Monday's pre-season friendly against Rosenborg.

The Red Devils paid in excess of £50m to sign the defender from Palace five years ago, but his contract is due to expire next summer, and a new deal is unlikely.

Yoro 'heads' to England for Man United medical

Man United are seemingly closing in on their second signing of the summer, meanwhile, with Leny Yoro allegedly heading to England to undergo a medical with the Red Devils.

Ten Hag's side have agreed a €62m (£52m) fee with Lille for the 18-year-old, who has also been heavily linked with Real Madrid.

Yoro is expected in Manchester on Wednesday to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical, with Man United potentially confirming the eye-catching signing in the near future.

A deal for Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt also remains on, while there could be further defensive exits before the end of the window, with Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire both thought to be available for transfer.
