Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping a close eye on one of West Ham’s key men, as fresh details emerge about Jarrod Bowen’s stance following growing speculation around his future.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are rivals, but both clubs put their differences aside in the summer as they did business for the first time since 2011.
Spurs appear to have benefited the most from that agreement, as they currently sit fifth in the Premier League table with Mohammed Kudus impressing, while West Ham are struggling at the other end in 18th place.
Tottenham are pushing to secure Champions League football once more this season and are also looking to poach another of West Ham’s talisman, Jarrod Bowen.
Tottenham interest grows as Jarrod Bowen stance revealed
Spurs’ interest in Bowen is no surprise, with reports in recent weeks linking the Lilywhites with a potential move for the Englishman.
Bowen has been one of the few bright sparks for West Ham this season, and it would be a major blow for the Hammers if they were to lose him.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, as Liverpool are also keen, with Arne Slot’s side said to be seeking more attacking depth following the departure of Luis Diaz.
However, the same report adds that Bowen remains fully committed to West Ham despite the interest from elsewhere.
Speaking to Football Insider, journalist Pete O’Rourke highlighted Bowen’s importance to the Hammers, explaining that he is virtually untouchable within the current squad.
“He is probably the one and only untouchable player in that squad right now. I think most other players that are in that squad would be for sale at the right price as well, but Bowen is the heartbeat of that West Ham team.
“They need to keep him and Jarrod will be looking to build his team around him. He is on a long-term contract until 2030, so it is not like West Ham are under any real pressure to sell Jarrod Bowen as well.
“But no surprise that clubs will be looking at him. Tottenham, Liverpool because even in that struggling side, he still scores goals and he is a proven Premier League player.”
West Ham stance on a Bowen transfer
Reports from a few days ago also revealed West Ham’s stance regarding interest in Bowen.
It is understood that the Hammers are aware of Spurs’ growing admiration for the winger, and while it has been suggested that almost every player in their squad could be sold for the right price, Bowen is not one of them.
Bowen has been in immense form for West Ham, and it appears that not even the lure of Champions League football would be enough to convince him to leave the London Stadium at this stage.
