Football website HITC has reported that West Ham United swiftly turned down a transfer inquiry from Tottenham Hotspur regarding winger Jarrod Bowen. The validity of this rumour remains uncertain, and for now, scepticism seems warranted.

Jarrod Bowen, who has earned a spot in England’s squad for the 2024 European Championship, could feature in tonight’s match under Gareth Southgate.

Tottenham has been actively seeking to enhance their attacking line-up this summer, and it is reported that they reached out at a high boardroom level to discuss Bowen’s potential transfer.

West Ham, however, quickly dismissed Tottenham’s approach. The Hammers explicitly communicated to Tottenham that any further pursuit of Bowen would be futile.

Sources claim that West Ham set a staggering £150 million price tag on Bowen, suggesting they might be attempting to deter Tottenham by setting an exorbitant fee right from the start.

Interestingly, Danny Dyer, Bowen’s future father-in-law and a staunch Hammers supporter, recently expressed that Tottenham is the last club he would want to see Bowen join, adding a personal twist to the transfer saga.

At the moment it seems as if everyone is raiding the West Ham family silver.

Jog on Spurs, Bowen is going nowhere.

West Ham remains interested in Ryan Sessegnon, according to West Ham ITK ExWHUEmployee, who has stated that the club is considering putting together a proposal for the out-of-contract player.

Sessegnon has been released by Tottenham and is available on a free transfer. The £30m signing from Fulham could be invited to join the Hammers for pre-season with a view to a permanent contract.

This would mirror the offer made last summer to Jesse Lingard, who spent the pre-season at Rush Green training with the West Ham first team.

There is no doubting Sessegnon’s talents; he is a versatile player capable of playing anywhere on the left side of the pitch. Unfortunately, his fitness record is appalling, hence the reason why Spurs decided not to renew his contract.

If the deal were structured correctly, this might not be such a bad move for the Hammers, who are looking to save funds where possible.
