He did not feature in last weekend’s Premier League opener against Aston Villa.

But he came off the bench to make his West Ham debut against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

And it took just five minutes for the right-back to have an impact on the match.

Wan-Bissaka skipped past two Palace players before dribbling the ball deep into the opposition half and passing to Jarrod Bowen.

The passage of play ended with Tomas Soucek firing the ball past Dean Henderson, putting West Ham 1-0 up.

Fans praised Wan-Bissaka for his role in the goal, with one person likening him to legendary Brazilian full-back Cafu.

They took to X to comment: “Aaron Wan-Bissaka turning into prime Cafu the moment he leaves Manchester United.”
