How West Ham's Aaron Wan-Bissaka replacement plan ends with Issa Kabore
West Ham United look likely to part ways with Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer.
The Hammers have had a quiet summer transfer window so far, but perhaps the biggest focus was on who the club could keep.
The Irons look set to have Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek for the upcoming Championship season, where Nuno Espirito Santo will look to get his side promoted at the first time of asking.
However, there are yet to be more departures in E20, and Wan-Bissaka is likely to be one of them.
The right-back featured for DR Congo at the World Cup this summer, but after his nation's early exit, work is already underway to resolve his future.
While it's not known where Wan-Bissaka could end up yet, it seems like West Ham could be targeting Issa Kabore as his replacement.
Issa Kabore emerges ideal replacement for Aaron Wan-Bissaka
West Ham Zone understands that Wan-Bissaka could leave the London Stadium for £25million this summer, with Arsenal, Everton and Lazio all suitors credited with interest.
While the former Manchester United man isn't close to joining a new side, it's highly likely that he will have left the Hammers come the end of the window.
With that said, Nuno will want a replacement, and it appears the Irons may already know who that is.
Africa Foot have shared information that Kabore is being eyed as a "solution" to the expected exit of Wan-Bissaka.
The Manchester City wing-back was on loan in the Championship with Wrexham last season, enjoying a fruitful campaign under Phil Parkinson.
It's said that West Ham appreciate the 25-year-old's speed, power and offensive capabilities, but they do face competition for his signature.
Who do West Ham need to fight to sign Kabore?
It's possible that in an ideal world for West Ham, they would like to keep Wan-Bissaka.
But the reality is that sales are needed, and his wages may be too large to keep on the books given the other players who have committed their futures.
West Ham would face Derby County and Wrexham for Kabore, with his former loan side keen to re-sign him this summer.
However, the Welsh side just completed the signing of Danny Imray, a right-wing back who may leave no more space for Kabore.
This could mean that West Ham's remaining competition is Derby, a side you'd expect the Hammers to beat if they really want to.
