Aston Villa have completed the loan signing of West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with a conditional obligation to buy included in the agreement. The 28-year-old right-back, who joined West Ham from Manchester United in 2024, will spend the 2024/25 season at Villa Park. The fee requested by West Ham was £25m, though the exact terms of the loan remain undisclosed. Wan-Bissaka, who missed West Ham's first two Championship matches due to transfer negotiations, has made 65 appearances across two seasons at the club, including 25 in 2023/24 when the Hammers were relegated. His loan move follows Villa's previous £35m obligation-to-buy deal for Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, which collapsed after Elliott played only four league games. Wan-Bissaka could debut for Villa in their season opener against Brighton on Sunday, with the club also set to compete in the Champions League after finishing fourth in the Premier League last term. The deal marks a significant addition to Villa's squad, offering competition at right-back amid domestic and European commitments. His arrival also signals a potential permanent transfer if the buy clause is triggered, with Villa's management keen to assess his impact under Unai Emery.
