West Ham were relegated last season, and the club have since lost the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville, who are now joined by Wan-Bissaka, who has penned a deal with Villa.
The 28-year-old has missed Championship club West Ham's first two matches of the season during negotiations, and the Premier League side have now announced him as their latest signing to rival Matty Cash at right-back.
"Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham United. Welcome, Aaron," the club announced on social media.
The D.R. Congo international has become Villa’s sixth signing of the summer as manager Unai Emery bolsters his side with Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes, Alejandro Garnacho, Modou Keba Cisse, Matteo Ruggeri and Zion Suzuki.
Wan-Bissaka made 25 appearances in the Premier League during 2025/26 as his side went down. He swaps the Championship for Champions League football with Villa in what is a no-brainer switch for the former Manchester United star.
Villa have a conditional obligation to buy him once the loan is completed, with reports suggesting that West Ham are asking for around £20-25 million for his services.
As the Premier League season quickly approaches, Wan-Bissaka could make his debut against Brighton this weekend as Villa aim for a perfect start to the season.
