Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aaron Wan-Bissaka built his reputation as one of the Premier League's most tenacious one-on-one defenders, a quality honed at Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson before Manchester United paid a significant fee to sign him in 2019. His defensive instincts — low center of gravity, exceptional tackling timing — were never in doubt, but his attacking output at Old Trafford remained limited, contributing to his eventual departure. A move to West Ham in 2024 has offered a fresh start. He has represented England at youth level but switched international allegiance to Congo DR, bringing Premier League pedigree to the Leopards' backline.
