West Ham United managed to sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United earlier this summer for just £15 million.
Incredibly though, that super cheap fee was not the best thing about West Ham signing the 26-year-old right-back.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has already busted the myth that he’s not very good going forward in his two appearances for the Hammers.
He was truly incredible during his substitute appearance against his former club Crystal Palace last weekend, and he helped change the game for us.
Then he was the best man on the pitch against Bournemouth last night in my opinion.
Julen Lopetegui paid £15 million to bring the pacy full-back to the London Stadium from Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago, and that already looks like sensational business for West Ham.
There was something else other than the fee that was even more incredible about the deal to bring him to the Hammers though…
Amazing Aaron Wan-Bissaka deal even better than first thought
There won’t be too many better signings in the summer transfer window, if any at all.
We all know that £15 million for a player with the former Crystal Palace ace’s quality was a real steal for the Hammers.
He already looks like he’ll be an outstanding player for us, and I genuinely cannot believe we managed to pick him up for just £15 million!
However, that’s not the most unbelievable thing about the transfer in my opinion.
The most amazing thing about our deal to sign Wan-Bissaka as far as I’m concerned was the fact that we had a free run at him.
Why weren’t other top clubs in for him? Were there no top teams abroad that fancied him? It’s utterly bizarre to me that we had no real competition for his signature.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka a transformative signing for West Ham
I actually think he will prove to be our most important signing of the summer.
He is a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal, what with his blistering pace, athleticism and outstanding defending.
His performance against Bournemouth last night offered everyone a glimpse of what he has to offer.
The 26-year-old defended incredibly well and looked dangerous going forward. He was involved in some wonderful passages of play down the left-hand flank, and he showed what he’s all about midway through the second-half when he used his incredible recovery pace to cut out a Bournemouth counter-attack.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka will help take this West Ham team to another level entirely, and his presence in the team will enable us to press more aggressively and higher up the pitch.
I genuinely still can’t believe the fact that we seemingly had such an easy time signing him this summer.
