Everton surely have the green light to complete Aaron Wan-Bissaka transfer - here's why

Everton could have fresh hope to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham United.

The Toffees faithful are desperate to see a new right-back come through the doors on Merseyside.

They have grown fed up watching Jake O'Brien play out of position every week to fill that void.

That hasn't been helped by watching Merlin Rohl feature there throughout pre-season.

Frustration has continued to build in L3 as the need for a fresh face at full-back intensifies as the season moves closer.

Wan-Bissaka could prove to be the man to end those Everton woes after the latest goings on at West Ham.

West Ham subtly hint at imminent Aaron Wan-Bissaka exit

The 28-year-old is just one of many defender options who have been linked with Hill Dickinson Stadium recently.

A move hasn't truly progressed, but the same can be said of any target in the same position.

The Blues could now seek to benefit from what's happening at the London Stadium after the Irons' relegation to the Championship.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are set to begin their new campaign on Saturday against Portsmouth in the Carabao Cup.

Ahead of that London Stadium clash, the Hammers updated their websites to feature new player portraits in their 2026/27 kit.

Strangely, Wan-Bissaka's image hasn't been updated and remains the exact same as last season.

That certainly points towards an imminent exit as there is no reason why he wouldn't have taken part in a photoshoot.

Everton could look at that as the perfect opportunity to get hold of the DR Congo international after long lasting interest.

How much could Everton pay for Wan-Bissaka?

There is no doubt that the West Ham man would be a useful option for the Toffees.

At this point, the L3 faithful would take anyone in that position, so someone with 233 Premier League appearances would be acceptable.

A deal would likely hinge on what sort of fee the claret and blue faithful demand.

Reports from earlier in the window suggested that the Hammers want £25m for the defender, but that was at the beginning of July.

With no deal seemingly that close, they could be forced to lower that asking price in the coming days and weeks.

Everton could step in and potentially make an offer closer to £15million to truly test the Irons' resolve.

Wan-Bissaka would be welcomed at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but once again a deal relies on the Blues actually getting it over the line.
