Wolves are now in pole position to sign West Ham transfer target Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United in January.
That’s according to a report from Foot Mercato who claim that Man United are ‘inclined to accept’ a loan offer from Wolves for the rapid 25-year-old right-back.

Signing a new right-back should be one of the main priorities for Moyes in the January transfer window.
Vladimir Coufal and Ben Johnson have regressed badly, and Wan-Bissaka would be a massive upgrade on both of those players.
It seems as though the Hammers may well have our work cut-out though…
Wolves leading West Ham in Wan-Bissaka race
Foot Mercato reckon that the Black Country outfit are out in front of the Hammers in the race to acquire the 25-year-old Man United ace’s signature.
That’s a big shame, because Wan-Bissaka would be a great addition to Moyes’s ranks at the London Stadium.
Wan-Bissaka joined Man United from Palace for around £50 million in 2019, but Ten Hag is allegedly now prepared to let him leave Old Trafford.
The Manchester United right-back is an exceptional defender and is one of the very best tacklers around.
Wan-Bissaka has been described as an ‘explosive’ player by the The Athletic. He’s not the best king forward, but he can definitely still work on that and improve.
The ex-Palace man would be a huge signing for the Hammers, what with his recovery pace and how that would enable us to setup at least another 10 yards further up the pitch.
Wolves seem to be in a far better position than West Ham in the race to sign Wan-Bissaka at the moment though.
And that really is a huge shame as far as I’m concerned.
