Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Everton have all registered strong interest in prying the 29-year-old England international away from East London.

Sources reveal that even if West Ham manage to claw their way to safety in the final two games of the campaign, Bowen could still be allowed to depart this summer for a fee in the region of £60 million.

Jarrod Bowen is attracting attention from top clubs

Bowen’s widespread appeal across the division comes as no surprise.

Since arriving at the London Stadium from Hull City in 2020 for an initial £22 million, the industrious forward has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent and lethal wide operators.

Racking up 84 goals across 278 total appearances for the club, including his immortalised match-winner in the 2023 Europa Conference League final, Bowen’s elite work rate, exceptional close control, and clinical cutting edge make him a highly coveted asset.

Each of his three domestic suitors possesses a distinct and compelling motivation for securing his signature.

Liverpool: The objective at Anfield is monumental, finding a proven, top-tier successor to legendary forward Mohamed Salah, who is set to depart the club as a free agent this June. The Reds’ recruitment team views Bowen’s durable, left-footed profile on the right flank as an ideal, ready-made solution to inject immediate Premier League quality into their transitioning attack.
