Redknapp Backs Ex-Man Utd Star for Success

Redknapp Hails Wan-Bissaka as a Steal for West Ham

Former Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp has heaped praise on West Ham United for their acquisition of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United. The 25-year-old full-back’s move to the London Stadium was finalized this summer for a reported fee of £15 million.

Redknapp was particularly impressed by the price tag, suggesting it represented exceptional value for a player of Wan-Bissaka’s caliber. Known for his defensive prowess, the right-back is expected to bolster West Ham’s backline significantly. 

“That’s a steal,” Redknapp said of the transfer fee. “Wan-Bissaka is a top-quality defender. He might not be the most attacking full-back, but his defensive abilities are undeniable. West Ham have got themselves a real bargain there.”

The former Tottenham Hotspur player believes the move could be a catalyst for Wan-Bissaka to rediscover his best form. After a period of inconsistent performances at Manchester United, a change of scenery could be beneficial for the England international.
