“It’s an incredible feeling to be back in London and I’m excited about what’s to come,” he said. “I was born here and I know the ins and outs of London, which plays a big role in my life, so it means a lot to me to be playing in this city again.”
Wan-Bissaka, who was entering the final year of his contract at United, said: “I can’t wait to get on the field, meet the players and take it from there. I see a team that sticks together, that pushes each other to win and a group that supports each other through thick and thin.”
West Ham technical director Tim Steidten praised the valuable signing, with Wan-Bissaka’s Premier League experience stretching back to his Palace debut in 2018. “He is exactly the type of player we want to bring to this club in the prime of his career,” said Steidten. “He is an incredibly talented defender who we rate very highly and who excels in one-on-one situations.”
“He’s also versatile, which is definitely another plus. He’s played over 170 Premier League games, so he knows the league inside out.”
