West Ham: Update on Jarrod Bowen’s future
The forward for the Hammers has been said to be leaving the London Stadium.
Jarrod Bowen, a forward for West Ham, has an uncertain future since contract negotiations are apparently deadlocked, which could force him to leave the organization.Given that staying at West Ham may limit his options in comparison to joining a larger club, Bowen’s chances of representing England may play a role in his decision.The 26-year-old has only played four times for England so far, and given that he was left off of the most recent team, it appears that he may have to relocate in order to advance his international career.
The status of West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen has been updated by journalist Ben Jacobs. He has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium.
Is Jarrod Bowen leaving West Ham?
Bowen has been rumored to be moving somewhere for a while now, and earlier this year, rumors said that West Ham was preparing for a possible summer exodus since Bowen was on the radar of fellow Premier League team Liverpool.
The forward’s current deal with the Hammers is set to expire in the summer of 2025, and the club’s board has been eager to lock him down to a new one. However, because Mohamed Salah’s deal with Liverpool is also up that year, he might be seen as Mohamed Salah’s replacement.
The Englishman was reportedly close to finalizing terms to stay at the London Stadium earlier in the summer, with only a few minor details remaining. However, because no progress has been made, it is likely that negotiations have stagnated.
The 26-year-old’s future with the Irons is thus still in question, and Jacobs has now stated he might be compelled to look for a move to increase his chances of playing for England.
The journalist stated in an interview that Bowen is evidently pleased enough to have a chance to compete and qualify for Euro 2024 simply by playing for West Ham. I don’t believe England is a factor in this because he would have pushed a little bit more to go last summer if it had been the case.
According to what I’ve been informed, Southgate told Bowen that staying at West Ham won’t have any bearing on Euro 2024. However, Maddison was informed of this when he was at
“Even though he made the England squad for the last World Cup, although he was injured and that might have been a key factor, his opportunities were still more limited at Leicester compared to now going forward at Spurs. That might be at the back of Bowen’s mind as well.”
How many times has Jarrod Bowen played for England?
The right-winger has only had four appearances for his country, all of which came in the UEFA Nations League back in 2022, and he is still on the outside looking in with the Three Lions team. He was also left off of Gareth Southgate’s most recent selection.
Despite Southgate’s assurances, Bowen may believe he needs to transfer abroad if his international career is to take off because the manager has come under fire for being biased toward players at “big clubs,” with James Ward-Prowse also being passed over earlier this month.
The England international’s contract is slated to expire in the summer of 2025, therefore David Moyes will need to make a significant choice in the forthcoming window and possibly next summer to avoid losing him for nothing.
West Ham’s successful start to the season may persuade Bowen to sign a new contract, and Moyes will be hoping the “incredible” winger maintains his present form after already scoring three Premier League goals this year.
