Arsenal have reportedly added West Ham United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka to their list of right-back transfer targets.
The Gunners could replace Ben White this summer, but the England international has struggled with injuries in recent years and is far behind Julian Timber in the top tier.

According to TEAMtalk, Wan-Bissaka is one of a long list of names on Arsenal’s radar, in a somewhat surprising development involving the former Manchester United defender.
The DR Congo international wasn’t exactly a convincing player during his time at Old Trafford, but he has plenty of experience in the Premier League and could be a solid addition to Arsenal’s squad.

It remains to be seen whether a player like Wan-Bissaka will be Arsenal’s first choice, but it could be a smart move for the north London giants if they are unable to land another target.
TEAMtalk has also named other big names such as Tino Libramento and Ivan Fresneda as targets for Arsenal, but with West Ham relegated to the Championship, Wan-Bissaka may be easier to sign.

The 28-year-old has a contract with West Ham until 2031, which may make things difficult, but it is also very difficult to see a player of his caliber ready to remain in the second tier of English football.
Arsenal fans will probably be hoping the club will aim a little higher, but Wan-Bissaka himself may wait to see if offers come from other Premier League clubs.
AWB has shown his quality with the Hammers and is certainly good enough to start at many mid-tier top flight clubs.
