Everton are showing an interest in West Ham United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

New full-backs will be at the top end of the to-do list this summer at Everton following a turbulent 2025/26 campaign.

David Moyes has shared Everton’s need for a new right-back throughout the season, with Nathan Patterson watching from the bench.

Everton eyeing West Ham United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka

A report from The Telegraph has shared Everton’s interest in Wan-Bissaka from the Toffees.

There is an understanding that the 28-year-old defender will be valued in the region of £10m by the relegated Hammers.

That was a disgraceful performance from Everton… something has to change! 😤

It must be noted that the right-back will soon be heading off to the World Cup to represent the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Everton have five positions they are keen to upgrade this summer and right-back is certainly one that has caused the club issues this season.

Wan-Bissaka is a player who Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has praised incredibly highly over the years.

What Jamie Carragher previously said about Wan-Bissaka

The 28-year-old made 23 Premier League starts for West Ham this season, but did not feature in the final game of the season against Leeds United.

Wan-Bissaka was able to provide three assists in the English top flight, yet it is his defensive ability that really stands out.

‘I actually think Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender as a full-back in the world. I don’t think anyone would get the better of him,” Carragher said on Sky Sports a number of years ago.

With Seamus Coleman departing, Jake O’Brien naturally a centre-back and Patterson’s future up in the air, there could be room for two right-backs to be added.

Everton may be crying out for an attack-minded right-back, but potentially having Wan-Bissaka as well could mark smart business from the Blues.

With the World Cup kick-off in a matter of weeks, this is a deal which Everton could do with getting over the line quickly.
