Aaron Wan-Bissaka medical update emerges as Aston Villa on verge of triple signing

West Ham United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to undergo a medical as Aston Villa seriously ramp up their transfer business.

Wan-Bissaka has emerged as a target for Unai Emery, and the Villans are closing in on his signature.

The Spaniard wants competition for Matty Cash, with his side having more games due to their involvement in the Champions League.

The B6 outfit look set to let Kosta Nedeljkovic depart for Rangers, so they need depth in the position.

It seems as though the DR Congo international is their man for the job, as they look to add quality.

Now, it appears that the move to Villa Park is in the closing stages after a new update.

What is the latest update on Aaron Wan-Bissaka's Aston Villa move?

Villa have agreed terms for a loan with an obligation to buy for Wan-Bissaka.

Fabrizio Romano reported that late on Tuesday evening via X, and he provided another update on Wednesday morning.

The Italian journalist claimed that is it "busy hours" at Villa as the 28-year-old starts his medical.

His report also states that Zion Suzuki and Matteo Ruggeri's signatures are set to be announced, so a potential triple announcement is on the cards.

What do the numbers say about Wan-Bissaka to Villa?

The numbers make it clear why the Villans want the former Manchester United full-back in their ranks.

He played 25 times in the Premier League last season, with 23 starts in the competition.

The 16-cap international created two assists, completing an impressive 38.1 per cent of his crosses, per FotMob data.

He is widely regarded as one of the best one-on-one defenders in the game, and the stats back it up.

He won 50.3 per cent of his ground duels and 47.8 per cent of his battles in the air last season.

The veteran averaged 7.51 defensive contributions per 90 minutes, with 1.43 tackles, 1.73 interceptions and 4.06 clearances.

Those numbers could get even better with top-quality players around him, given that he was involved in the Hammers' relegation scrap.

He was not at fault for them dropping down to the Championship, as he was one of their better players.

It would be a very sensible move for Emery's side, with a brilliant option to replace Cash when he is not fit or simply needs a rest.
