West Ham are being linked with a move for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Hammers begin a new chapter under Julen Lopetegui following the dismissal of David Moyes.

After conceding 74 goals last season, they’ve already added to their defence with the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves.

Only the three teams who got relegated shipped more goals last season.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Pearce responded to the news that Wan-Bissaka could be about to join the Hammers by suggesting he would be a ‘really good’ signing.

“I think [Wan-Bissaka] it would be a really good move for both club and player,” Pearce said, as quoted by HITC.

Returning to London is Wan-Bissaka’s preference this summer.

That said, a move to Turkey has not been completely ruled out. The right-back would welcome an offer from West Ham.

In an ideal world, Wan-Bissaka will be sold this summer because United need the funds to buy new players.
