West Ham United have rejected a loan offer from Aston Villa for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to The Athletic. Villa's proposal was a straight loan, which West Ham found unacceptable. Wan-Bissaka, who has been a key player for the club since joining from Manchester United in 2024, has five years remaining on his contract. West Ham is open to selling him but expects a transfer fee of £25 million, which Villa is not willing to meet. Arsenal is also reportedly interested in Wan-Bissaka as they seek defensive reinforcements ahead of the new season.

""The ambition attracted me," Aston Villa's sixth summer signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka said after completing a season-long loan move with a conditional obligation to buy. The 28-year-old, who joined West Ham on a seven-year deal from Manchester United in August 2024, has featured 65 times across his two seasons at London Stadium.
