View: Jarrod Bowen needs to pen new deal at West Ham after new contract reports
West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen is set for a new contract which will include a pay rise, according to Alex Crook via GIVEMESPORT.
The Englishman has notched 31 goal involvements in all competitions this season – the highest of any Hammers player which more than warrants a new deal.
Crook expects the former Hull City man to stay in east London next year amid interest from Liverpool and cash-flush Newcastle, as per 90min.
He told GIVEMESPORT: “I can see him staying. I think he’ll get himself a decent pay rise because, obviously, he’s not one of the top earners having come from the Championship, but definitely he’s earned that contract, and I would expect that.”
Hopefully, he does stay because the West Ham can’t afford to lose their best attacker amid their best player – Declan Rice’s future being uncertain.
Sensible.
It would be a very smart move by West Ham to get Bowen signed up to a new contract as quickly as possible.
The 25-year-old has been this season’s top performer and if it wasn’t for Declan Rice, he would undoubtedly have won Hammer of the Year and was maybe robbed to have not.
With clubs interested in the forward, the Hammers need to get his future tied down at the London Stadium.
His form has been second to none this season and David Moyes simply can’t afford to risk losing Bowen because replacing him will be extremely difficult.
There is a reason why clubs like Liverpool are sniffing around him – he is excellent.
This current group of players need to stay together for as long as possible because they could achieve something amazing at the club.
