🚨 Aston Villa Secure Wan-Bissaka with Obligation to Buy

18 August 2026, 19:54
πŸ“ THE FULL PICTURE: Aston Villa agreed to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham. The DR Congo right-back joins on an initial loan with an obligation to buy, and he's heading for a medical. West Ham wanted Β£25m but exact terms aren't known. Wan-Bissaka missed West Ham's first two games. West Ham sold Fernandes and Summerville for big money, but Bowen re-signed. Villa sold Rogers for Β£117m and now have the Premier League's lowest net spend, around Β£110m. They also added Manzambi, Gomes, Garnacho on loan, and Cisse. Villa open at Brighton Sunday and return to the Champions League after finishing fourth and winning the Europa League. πŸ’­ MY TAKE: This move makes sense for both sides. Villa are wheeling and dealing like crazy, selling Rogers for a massive fee and still adding pieces. Wan-Bissaka gives them depth at right-back, and the obligation to buy means they're all-in. West Ham cashed out big on other guys but kept Bowen, so they're not broke. Still, letting a starting defender leave after two games? That's wild. Villa look scary for Champions League. Let's go.
