AARON WAN-BISSAKA is on the verge of leaving Manchester United, it’s been claimed.
The former England Under-21 international has been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Erik ten Hag.
West Ham began sniffing around the defender after it became clear United would be willing to cash in on him.
And a move to the London Stadium is seemingly imminent for the 26-year-old.
Wan-Bissaka is said to have agreed personal terms with the East Londoners.
That’s according to Sky Germany, who claim the Hammers’ breakthrough in their pursuit of the defender happened on Thursday.
Wan-Bissaka is rumoured to have agreed a five-year contract at the London Stadium.
The deal has seemingly been hashed out after both parties found a middle ground over wages.
An agreement between West Ham and Manchester United, however, has yet to be reached.
It’s understood United are hoping to pocket a fee in the region of £18million for the right-back.

SunSport, however, understands West Ham are hopeful of securing Wan-Bissaka’s services for a fee just north of £10m.
Wan-Bissaka joined United from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2019 for a whopping £50m.
He’s made 190 appearances during his five seasons at Old Trafford, scoring two goals and racking up 13 assists.
Despite no longer being part of Ten Hag’s plans, Wan-Bissaka believes he’s flourished under his soon-to-be former manager.
“It’s been good,” he said last August. “Especially for myself. I’ve learned a lot under him.
“And there’s more to come, more improvement to be done.
“So, yeah, I’m happy. He’s helped the team.
“You can see the team’s transition has changed.”
