According to emerging reports, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna is targeting a cut-price £10 million move for experienced full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka as he looks to strengthen his squad ahead of another demanding Premier League campaign

With the dust barely settled on a chaotic Premier League finale, the summer transfer window is already beginning to explode into life and newly ambitious Ipswich Town are reportedly preparing to take full advantage of West Ham United’s shock relegation.

According to emerging reports, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna is targeting a cut-price £10 million move for experienced full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka as he looks to strengthen his squad ahead of another demanding Premier League campaign.

West Ham’s dramatic collapse on the final day of the season confirmed their drop into the Championship, sparking immediate uncertainty surrounding several senior players at the London Stadium. Financial pressure following relegation could now force the Hammers into selling key assets below market value — and Wan-Bissaka is believed to be one of the names attracting serious interest.

The former Manchester United defender enjoyed a solid individual campaign despite West Ham’s struggles, with his defensive consistency and Premier League experience catching the attention of multiple clubs. However, Ipswich appear determined to move quickly and position themselves at the front of the queue.

McKenna is said to view Wan-Bissaka as the ideal addition to add quality, composure, and top-flight experience to his youthful squad. After guiding Ipswich through a remarkable rise in recent seasons, the Northern Irish coach is eager to ensure the club avoids second-season struggles by adding proven Premier League talent.

A potential £10m fee is viewed internally as a bargain for a player of Wan-Bissaka’s calibre, especially considering his pedigree at both West Ham and Manchester United. The right-back’s athleticism, one-on-one defending, and recovery pace would offer Ipswich a major boost defensively.

Supporters have already begun reacting to the rumours across social media, with many Ipswich fans excited by the possibility of signing such an established Premier League name.

One fan wrote: “Wan-Bissaka for £10m would be unbelievable business.”

Another posted: “McKenna clearly means business this summer.”

Meanwhile, West Ham supporters are bracing themselves for what could become a painful squad rebuild following relegation. Several high-profile departures are expected in the coming weeks as the club attempts to balance finances and prepare for life in the Championship.

While no agreement has yet been reached, sources suggest Ipswich are closely monitoring the situation and could formally approach West Ham in the coming days if conditions remain favourable.

As the transfer window edges closer, this is already shaping up to be one of the most intriguing early stories of the summer.
