Jarrod Bowen head to be turned at West Ham after ‘shock’ new announcement
West Ham could soon be set to part ways with Jarrod Bowen as the summer window looms.
The England international has been sensational since signing for the Hammers from Hull City in January 2020, but missed out on Thomas Tuchel’s latest squad announcement.
This saw him named captain in the summer by Julen Lopetegui before once again having a telling impact on what was a largely dull season in East London.
Now fears are beginning to emerge which could see Bowen depart shortly as a Champions League verdict emerged, ready for the upcoming window.
Bowen may be eager to complete West Ham exit
There may be some talented players at the London Stadium, but no one has been as consistent as the 28-year-old in the past five years.
Even with the expensive signings of both Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus, it is the ex-Hereford man who has caught the eye every week.
This has seen the Englishman net 74 goals in claret and blue, with 14 of those being joined by eight assists in the most recent season.

| Assists | 8 |
As a result, it would be little surprise if elite sides showed an interest in Bowen, with former Brentford and Leicester City manager Martin Allen suggesting that Bowen’s head could be turned by a side in the Champions League in the near future.
Speaking exclusively to West Ham Zone, Allen said: “He could play for any of the top teams, he scores goals and wins matches.
“I’m absolutely in shock, I’m amazed and disappointed that he’s not got into the England squad that’s just been announced.
“Would his head be turned to go to a club in the Champions League? I think all players would be tempted.
“He’s got strong loyalty to West Ham, and I would imagine he’ll give it one more season, and if they don’t do well, he’ll be knocking on the door and wondering what it would be like to play in the Champions League.“
Bowen exit could seriously hamper West Ham
Unfortunately for the Hammers, it could get to a stage, if things don’t pick up under Graham Potter, that Bowen becomes far too good for the team.
This would ultimately lead to his departure and leave the Irons without their main goalscorer and creator, which would spark alarm bells.
Relying on the likes of Crysencio Summerville, if Paqueta and Kudus leave, would be a massive risk, and as a result, a relegation battle could soon be on the cards in E20.
