West Ham United fans will be well aware of the famous football agent Will Salthouse.

One of David Sullivan’s best mates in the game, the agent could now be set to really help us out.

Will Salthouse and West Ham have been intrinsically linked over the past decade or so when it comes to transfers.

That’s because of his extremely close relationship with Hammers co-owner David Sullivan.

West Ham have actually been linked with up to 10 of his clients this summer, a truly extraordinary amount.

Unique Sports Group Chief Executive Salthouse now has well over 300 players on his books, after a merger with German sports agency International Sports Management back in 2021.

West Ham fans have been angered by Salthouse’s involvement in our transfer dealings in the past.

The Hammers have often favoured deals to sign players represented by Salthouse, whilst missing out on others who would have perhaps been better for the job at the London Stadium.

They haven’t all been bad signings though!

Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell, Said Benrahma and Craig Dawson either were or still are all clients of the well-known football agent.

He was also involved in the deal to bring Lopetegui to West Ham.

And now, Salthouse could play a key role in bringing another big new addition to the London Stadium.

So it seems like Sullivan has called on his old mate to help push through a big summer transfer for the Hammers this summer.

And this particular deal could end up being one of the most important ones we make.

Hammers insider Sean Whetstone claims Will Salthouse is leading negotiations to bring Aaron Wan-Bissaka to the London Stadium from Manchester United.

That’s no surprise as the former Crystal Palace man is one of Salthouse’s many clients.

And it is suggested that the Hammers are hoping to conclude a deal for the 26-year-old within the next couple of days.

Described as an ‘incredible’ defender (Goal), Wan-Bissaka possesses all of the attributes that we’re crying out for right now.

He’s absolutely rapid, and that recovery pace will enable us to press higher up the pitch as a team.

The Man United right-back is also one of the very best tacklers in world football, and he’d be a huge upgrade on Vladimir Coufal at the London Stadium.

West Ham are apparently prepared to meet Manchester United’s £15 million demands for the defender (talkSPORT), although agreeing personal terms with him may be more problematic according to reports.

Hopefully that all gets smoothed over in the coming days.

Will Salthouse could be set to help facilitate the deal that brings Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham from Manchester United.

He’s not all that bad is he!
