Jarrod Bowen’s West Ham future even more complicated after agency update
Jarrod Bowen‘s future at West Ham United is under the microscope more than ever at the moment.
The Hammers’ relegation to the Championship has left plenty of question marks, and the most pressing one is whether the captain will stay at the London Stadium.
He has a contract with the Hammers until 2030, but it is unknown whether he is willing to play second-tier football next season.
His future may be even more complicated after a new update on his agency, PLG, emerged on 28 May.
West Ham supporters will be praying that he stays put in East London, as he is a pillar of the side on and off the pitch.

What is the latest on Bowen’s agency?
Bowen gave the impression that he wanted to stay at West Ham after relegation was confirmed, but there is still plenty of exit talk.
That is unlikely to go away after the news that the PLG agency will form a new superagency called Gersh, also involving You First and agencies from Europe.

Leading agencies in Mainland Europe, You First, and the UK-based PLG, will now operate under the Gersh brand, creating a global football powerhouse. Tyler Alexander-Arnold will become Head of the UK division.…
Fabrizio Romano revealed that Bowen and other top players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabian Ruiz and Andy Robertson, are now represented by the new group.
| Top players represented by the new agency | Club |
| Jarrod Bowen | West Ham |
| Trent Alexander-Arnold | Real Madrid |
| Fabian Ruiz | PSG |
| Andy Robertson | Liverpool |
| Alexia Putellas | FC Barcelona Femini |
| Christoph Baumgartner | RB Leipzig |
What does this mean for Bowen’s future?
The new agency will be looking to make waves in its infancy, and that could spell trouble for the Irons when it comes to Bowen’s future.
If they could secure a mega-money deal that sees the 29-year-old leave the E20 outfit for one of the biggest clubs in the game, it will only serve to increase the reputation of the new organisation.
No matter what happens, it makes things more complicated than if his agency had just remained as it was ahead of the summer transfer window, one which is crucial for the Londoners.
They may seek to negotiate improved terms that would see him remain with Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side, but either way, it does not make the matter any simpler.
Hammers fans face a nervous wait to see whether their most important player will stay, and help them try to regain their top-flight status or move on for greater things, and they will not be too thrilled about the latest news.
