Jarrod Bowen reacts as West Ham agree permanent sale
West Ham have raked in some big sales in the winter transfer market, with business still ongoing for Nuno Espirito Santo.
The Hammers boss has had to let some stars go to make way for new faces in recent weeks.
But the changes have been made to allow Nuno to come out of the winter market with a squad that is more suited to his system.
Lucas Paqueta‘s exit saga dragged on for a while, but the Brazilian star has finally rejoined Flamengo, despite West Ham‘s attempts to keep him.
The attacking midfielder will forever have fond memories of his time in E20, particularly with Mr West Ham, Jarrod Bowen.
Jarrod Bowen sends love to Lucas Paqueta after move
West Ham will pocket around £36million for Paqueta before add-ons after all parties agreed on the permanent sale this week.
The funds will allow the Hammers to make one or two more statement signings, if they wish, in an attempt to stay in the top flight.
Taking to Instagram after his homecoming, Paqueta shared a heartfelt message to Flamengo and their supporters after finally rejoining the club after seven years away.
Paqueta’s statement read: “I was born to love you; nothing will separate us. I leave everything in this life just to accompany you. The crazy things I did, the loves I left. I lost so many things, but I never left you.”
Bowen then reacted by liking the post, showing he is still in support of the 28-year-old.
Much has been said about how Paqueta went about leaving the London Stadium, but it feels like the Brazilian just wanted to go home after years of off-field issues.

Some supporters won’t be able to forgive Paqueta for leaving in a relegation battle, and that’s understandble.
But his West Ham teammates will know the truth behind the scenes, and if he were a bad character, then he wouldn’t have the support that he does over the move.
Callum Wilson, Mateus Fernandes, and Crysencio Summerville all liked his post as well as Bowen, which shows the love that he had at Rush Green.
Not only that, but former West Ham star Mohammed Kudus reacted to the post. Now, the Hammers’ full focus turns to what’s left of the winter market, with plenty more movement expected.
