Aaron Wan-Bissaka being linked with a move away from West Ham is nothing news. However, he has now been mentioned alongside the best team in the Premier League. Arsenal are reportedly considering signing the DR Congo international as they look to strengthen for their league defence.

Daily Mail Sport reports that “any successful move would need to be around the £60m mark,” a fee that reflects both Scott’s development and Bournemouth’s reluctance to lose a player tied down until 2028.
