Premier League clubs eye West Ham captain Bowen

West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen is attracting strong interest from several Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, even as the Hammers battle to avoid relegation from the top flight.

The 29-year-old England international, who has recorded 10 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this season despite West Ham's struggles, could be available for a fee below 60 million pounds regardless of whether the club stays up. Liverpool, Newcastle United and Everton lead the interest, according to multiple reports. Liverpool view Bowen as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah on the right wing, Newcastle seek to bolster their attack amid speculation over Anthony Gordon's future, and Everton manager David Moyes hopes for a reunion with the forward he helped develop during his previous stint at West Ham.

Bowen joined West Ham from Hull City in 2020 for an initial 22 million pounds and has since scored 84 goals in 278 appearances, including the 90th-minute winner in the 2023 Europa Conference League final.
