One of the Irons' international talents is generating interest from the Premier League.

West Ham supporters are becoming used to seeing their star players linked with moves away from the London Stadium as another big name joins the list of potential departures.

The Hammers are braced for offers for their prized assets, with Jarrod Bowen and Mateus Fernandes regularly touted for moves to the Premier League.

There has already been a significant departure at the boardroom level, as David Sullivan left his post as vice-chair and director after 16 years at the club.

Now, another household name is attracting interest from the top flight, with a host of clubs reportedly keen on his services.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has more Premier League suitors with West Ham exit likely

One of West Ham's players who still has his reputation intact is Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who, despite enduring a below-par season, could be playing Premier League football next term.

The right-back has spent two years in East London, having signed from Manchester United in the summer of 2024, and has made 65 appearances for the Hammers.

Wan-Bissaka was a regular starter throughout the campaign until the end of the season, when the DR Congo international was an unused substitute for four of the final seven games in the relegation run-in.

Now, Everton are keen on the 28-year-old, while Sunderland, Newcastle United, Fulham and Fenerbahçe are also said to be watching the situation, according to ExWHUEmployee, via The West Ham Way.

The defender still has five years remaining on his contract and will represent DR Congo at the World Cup alongside Premier League stars Noah Sadiki, Yoane Wissa and Arthur Masuaku.

Should West Ham cash in on Aaron Wan-Bissaka?

It has been widely reported that the Irons will need to generate substantial funds this summer due to their relegation from the Premier League, meaning that selling Wan-Bissaka may be the logical thing to do.

Unlike Bowen and Fernandes, the right-back is unlikely to garner ridiculous funds, but given the length of his contract and market value, the club should still receive a decent enough fee.

The 28-year-old arrived at the London Stadium for a fee of £15million and, considering his age and ability, the Hammers would probably look to recoup that figure.

In the 2025/26 campaign, Wan-Bissaka made 25 league appearances, missing a chunk of the winter period as he was away at the Africa Cup of Nations, and showed signs of his best despite an underwhelming season.

The right-back has always been famed for his defensive ability and ranked in the top eight per cent of players in his position for interceptions, while he ranked in the top 10 per cent for successful crosses, according to Futmob.

If the Irons decide to keep him for the upcoming Championship campaign, then he would certainly be regarded as one of the best players in his position and could be a key component in their promotion charge.

On the other hand, if the club could generate a substantial fee for his services, then that money could be reinvested to help bring multiple players to the London Stadium.

Whatever happens, West Ham are in a good position regarding Wan-Bissaka's situation and have the whole summer to reach the outcome they want for the player.
