The right back has signed a seven-year deal at the London Stadium and becomes the Hammers eighth signing of the summer.

The defender has been a long-term target of the club but the deal appeared to have stalled in the last week over an exit settlement surrounding the reduction of his salary in east London.
But the transfer was pushed over the line on Monday after the defender completed his medical and he could make his debut in the season opener against Aston Villa on Saturday.
‘It was a no brainer for me to join West Ham – I’m excited and happy to be here,’ Wan-Bissaka said.

‘It’s an amazing feeling to be back in London, and I’m excited for what’s coming. I was born here, so I know the ins and outs of London, which plays a big part in my life, so to be back playing in this city means a lot to me.
‘I’m happy to be here, am grateful for the warm welcome, and I am excited to be playing for the club and will give it my all.
‘I can’t wait to get on the pitch, get to know the players, and push on from there. I see a team that is in it together, that will push each other to win, and a group that has got each others’ backs through thick and thin, so being part of that and having that insurance helps a lot when you are surrounded by a good squad.’
New head coach Julen Lopetegui had identified the defence as a key area for improvement after the club went 17 games without a clean sheet in the second half of last season.

Wan-Bissaka is the club’s third defensive signing, with Max Kilman having joined from Wolves in a £40million deal while Jean-Clair Todibo sealed a season-long loan from Nice at the weekend.
On Wan-Bissaka’s deal, technical director Tim Steidten said: ‘I am delighted we’ve been able to get the deal to sign Aaron over the line.
‘He’s exactly the type of player we’re looking to attract to this club in the prime years of his career.
‘He’s an incredibly talented defender who we rate very highly – superb in one-on-one situations. He’s versatile too, which is clearly another positive.
