West Ham Captain Bowen Fancied by Spurs and Newcastle
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen is a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur, Claret & Hugh have discovered.
The Hammers’ top scorer has remained a consistent threat in front of goal despite a tough campaign for the club.
Bowen has five years remaining on the seven-year deal he signed with West Ham and has shown no desire to push for a move. After scoring the winner in the Europa Conference League final, he’s already cemented his place as a modern-day club legend. Now settled in Essex with partner Dani Dyer, daughter of celebrity Hammers fan Danny Dyer, Bowen’s off-the-pitch life appears peachy.
However, West Ham’s struggles haven’t gone unnoticed by rival clubs further up the table, and there’s growing speculation that big clubs (and Spurs) may look to poach the Hammers’ best talent.
Newcastle United are one such club, and when Claret & Hugh put the rumour to a trusted football insider, the response was eye-opening:
“They would be interested, but so are a lot of clubs.
Bowen seems dedicated to West Ham, but if he sees Paquetá and Kudus leave without anyone decent coming in, maybe he’d be tempted?
West Ham might struggle again next season—and a lot of players could want out.”
Then came the bombshell:
“I think Spurs are interested and will make changes in the summer.”
Whilst I was quick to point out that Bowen to Spurs borders on heresy, and I personally don’t believe it would happen, the Newcastle links are more concerning.
The Magpies are a club on the rise, and with West Ham needing a serious rebuild, Bowen’s loyalty might not be enough to keep him at the club long-term.
In short, the Hammers may need more than just sentiment and the in-laws to fend off growing summer interest.
