Fabrizio Romano gave 'Here We Go' to the deal, saying that a 'verbal agreement in place for right back to join West Ham from Man United as planned.'

The medical tests are booked and the fee will be €17.5 million, he relayed.

Wan-Bissaka is currently earning around £90,000 per week at Old Trafford but is no longer in Erik ten Hag's plans, with Diogo Dalot now his first-choice right-back. West Ham, however, were unwilling to match Wan-Bissaka's current wages.

A report from MEN states that this prompted the Red Devils to make a £5.6 million payout to bridge the gap.

This transfer means that the Premier League giants can pursue Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich.

Man Utd incoming agree terms?

Both players have reportedly agreed to terms and will reunite with Ten Hag, who coached them both at Ajax.

Man Utd triggered a one-year extension in Wan-Bissaka's contract last January as they geared up to make a sale this summer.

Erik ten Hag's squad restructuring continues, De Ligt and Mazraoui being the latest through the door, but there is still the need for a midfielder.

Casemiro is on £350,000k a week and it's thought that this is problematic in bringing any more players in. The club have been linked to Manuel Ugarte of Paris Saint-Germain, but the French club are holding firm in their valuation.

If Casemiro stays at Old Trafford then it is unlikely that Man Utd will be able to strengthen that area of the pitch.
