Everton is preparing a £10 million transfer bid to sign right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham United, following the London club's relegation from the Premier League on May 26, 2026.
The Hammers saw their 14-year stay in the top flight end on the final day of the season, finishing two points away from safety despite a 3-0 victory over Leeds United.

As reported by talkSPORT, Everton is searching for a new right-back to replace Seamus Coleman, who will conclude his 17-year tenure on Merseyside this summer.
West Ham Faces Fire-Sale
West Ham faces a mandatory off-season player fire-sale to generate up to £150 million in outgoings to balance its financial losses after dropping into the Championship.
The Telegraph reported that Wan-Bissaka fell out of favor toward the end of the 2025-26 campaign under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who preferred utilizing Kyle Walker-Peters.
The 28-year-old full-back, who signed a seven-year contract when he arrived from Manchester United for £15 million in 2024, has made 65 total appearances for the Hammers.
If the deal progresses, Everton hopes to secure the former Manchester United defender before he represents DR Congo at the upcoming summer World Cup in North America.
Other high-value West Ham assets are also linked with departures, including Mateus Fernandes to Manchester United, alongside potential exits for Crysencio Summerville, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and El Hadji Malick Diouf.
