# Crystal Palace: Eagles ‘hopeful’ of re-signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka

**[Crystal Palace](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/crystal-palace-news/) are ‘hopeful’ of re-signing Manchester United defender [Aaron Wan-Bissaka](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/aaron-wan-bissaka/) in January, according to journalist [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey).**

### The Lowdown: Sale to be sanctioned

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) right-back swapped Selhurst Park for Old Trafford back in 2019, but [reports](https://www.90min.com/posts/man-utd-set-to-allow-first-team-player-to-leave-in-january) have claimed that the Red Devils are open to letting him leave in the upcoming winter market.

Wolves have also been credited with an [interest](https://www.90min.com/posts/crystal-palace-hopeful-beating-wolves-aaron-wan-bissaka) in the 25-year-old alongside the Eagles, though it appears that Patrick Vieira’s side are the club currently in pole position to secure his services.

### The Latest: Palace leading the race

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/graemebailey/status/1605608189961023488?s=46&t=q63MHxElXmzw6Mt4CKqcPw), Bailey revealed that Palace are positive about their chances of landing Wan-Bissaka for a second time. He wrote:

“Crystal Palace hopeful of beating Wolves to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.”

Expanding in his column for [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/crystal-palace-hopeful-beating-wolves-aaron-wan-bissaka), the reporter stated that the club are looking to sign their former star ‘initially on loan’, which means there could be a clause for a permanent deal included in any potential transfer.

### The Verdict: Don’t do it?

Despite Wan-Bissaka undoubtedly being a fan favourite during his time in the capital, Palace should no longer pursue this deal or try to sign him in the New Year.

The Croydon-born ace only provided [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-wan-bissaka/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/477758) assists in his previous spell and has made [zero](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka) league starts and just one substitute appearance this season, meaning that he would likely need time to get up to speed before being fully match-fit.

Vieira needs to go after someone who is ready and raring to go, and it’s hard to imagine that Wan-Bissaka would be able to have the big impact that the side need heading into the second half of the campaign.
