West Ham may demand £75m for star man Jarrod Bowen this summer
West Ham United are likely to set their stall out this summer as they slap a £75million price tag on star player Jarrod Bowen, according to CaughtOffside.
The 25-year-old is having a simply stellar season for the Irons having scored eight goals and assisted his teammates just as many times.
That makes him the most prolific Englishman in the division and he has been receiving interest from Liverpool as a result (as mentioned by CaughtOffisde).
The Reds bolstered their attack with Luis Diaz in January but CaughtOffside believes they could continue to strengthen this summer with Bowen, who was signed for £20million by the Irons in 2020, high on their agenda.
But the club are set to hold firm and demand £75million from Jurgen Klopp’s side to let him go as Bowen’s value reportedly rises with every game he plays.
Compromise
Every West Ham fan wants to see Bowen stay at the London Stadium for a very long time given his superb form this season but that’s a rather unrealistic view.
As hard as it might be for the hardiest Hammers supporter to admit, the Irons aren’t at the same level as Liverpool yet and there is a good chance that the 25-year-old will want the move.
David Moyes and the club’s board need to be smart to not be too stubborn over the price they have set because if the Reds pull out of the deal, the player won’t be pleased.
An unhappy player very, very rarely is able to perform to their highest standards and if such a situation occurs, the club may have missed their chance to cash in on him
Bowen will give his all every time he steps onto the pitch and he could come back to haunt the Hammers in the future but if any bid of more than £60million is made, they should probably shake their hands and take the money.
In other West Ham news, Moyes wants the club to sign this £50million striker in the summer.
