Why Unai Emery Wants to Sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka as West Ham Tell Aston Villa Their Price
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is reportedly interested in bringing Aaron Wan-Bissaka to the club, with West Ham United making their valuation clear.
Emery is believed to admire Wan-Bissaka’s defensive qualities, particularly his one-on-one ability, recovery pace and experience in the Premier League. Those attributes could make the full-back an attractive option as Villa look to strengthen their defensive options.
Wan-Bissaka joined West Ham after leaving Manchester United and has continued to offer valuable Premier League experience. His ability to defend against dangerous wide players could fit well into Emery’s tactical approach.
However, any potential move will depend heavily on whether Aston Villa are prepared to meet West Ham’s asking price. The Hammers are unlikely to let an established player leave without receiving a fee they consider appropriate.
For Villa, the signing could provide greater depth and competition at full-back, while Emery would gain another experienced option capable of handling demanding fixtures.
The situation is therefore one to watch as negotiations develop. If Villa meet West Ham’s valuation, Wan-Bissaka could soon find himself working under Emery — but the price could ultimately determine whether the deal happens.
