Biography

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a right-back currently playing for West Ham United in the Premier League. Born and raised in London, England, to Congolese parents, he made the decision to represent DR Congo at international level, bringing invaluable Premier League experience to the Leopards. Wan-Bissaka rose to prominence at Crystal Palace, where his exceptional one-on-one defending and perfectly timed tackles made him one of the most feared full-backs in the league. A move to Manchester United followed in 2019 for a reported £50 million fee. After several seasons at Old Trafford, he joined West Ham United, where he continues to showcase his defensive prowess. His ability to shut down opposing wingers and his recovery pace make him a crucial asset for DR Congo's 2026 World Cup campaign — the nation's second-ever appearance at the tournament.
