Jarrod Bowen remains the biggest talking point at the London Stadium, with West Ham United exit fears growing.

Though he isn't the only one being linked with a move away from the Irons, with Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville also attracting interest.

With that said, it is definitely the future of Bowen that is catching most of the headlines, given the impact he has had throughout his time with West Ham.

Last season alone he managed 23 goal involvements for the Irons, which was comfortably the most of any player in the side.

That form has earned him interest from several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa.

West Ham are believed to be against the idea of selling him, but if they did, where would that rank him among the most expensive departures?

Jarrod Bowen valuation revealed

The Athletic mentions Villa's interest in star man Bowen and also shares that the Hammers value him around £50million.

And given his record since moving to the Hammers, there will almost certainly be teams willing to pay that.

If they did, it would see him become their third-most expensive sale in their history, only surpassed by that of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham and Declan Rice to Arsenal.

Lucas Paqueta is currently the third-biggest sale, having joined Flamengo in January for a fee in the region of £36m.

Bowen may not be West Ham's biggest sale this summer

And that is because that label may be handed to Fernandes.

The former Saints star shone in the Premier League and has since attracted interest from Tottenham, PSG and Real Madrid.

All of whom are reportedly willing to pay the big bucks to land him this summer.

West Ham are said to be holding out for a fee of around £80m for his exit, which would see him become the second-most expensive sale in their history.

Quite frankly, given the snum of money received for Rice's exit, there is a good chance that he will never be dethroned from the summit of that list.
