Key Omission From Jarrod Bowen’s New West Ham Contract Identified
The new contract Jarrod Bowen has signed with West Ham United does not contain a release clause.
In addition to receiving admiring looks from other Premier League teams and making the England team, Bowen has continued to advance at the London Stadium.
In the present, West Ham has taken care to bind him to a long-term deal that is scheduled to last until the summer of 2030.
As a result, clubs interested in Bowen would have to negotiate a deal with West Ham rather than be able to activate a clause.
In Sunday’s Premier League 2-2 tie with Newcastle United, Bowen logged all 90 minutes.
He will now depart to join Gareth Southgate’s England team in preparation for this month’s games against Australia and Italy.
The Hammers will be hopeful that Bowen survives any playing time that Southgate may offer him.

Mohammed Kudus must start – Three things learned in West Ham United v Newcastle
In their 2-2 Premier League match against Newcastle United at the London Stadium on October 8, West Ham put in a valiant effort to get a draw.
After only eight minutes, Thomas Soucek scored the game’s first goal, although Bruno Guimaraes’ heavy challenge on James Ward-Prowse in the middle of the field did not result in a second yellow card.
After scoring two quick goals to go up 2-1 in the second half, Newcastle came out looking very different. Mohammed Kudus came on as a substitute and completely transformed the game by scoring the equalizer. These are the three lessons we took away from the draw.
Mohammed Kudus has to start in place of Michail Antonio
Simply simple, Kudus must get the ball for David Moyes’ team. He came off the bench to give his team the much-needed attacking spark, and he scored the equalizer to give them a point.
His effect was evident in just 14 minutes of play thanks to his 90% passing accuracy, 100% dribbling success, one crucial pass, and eventual equalizer. It will be up to Moyes to make room in the starting lineup for him.
Although Michail Antonio has advantages, he is unable to make the same kind of immediate impact on the game as Kudus has shown. He should be the one to withdraw after another lackluster effort in which he went the entire game without taking a shot and was hauled off after 75 minutes.
The referees cannot be trusted
The referee demonstrated once more tonight that they cannot be trusted to make the crucial decisions after all the fuss surrounding an inaccurate call in the Liverpool versus Tottenham game last week.
Bruno Guimaraes, a Newcastle midfielder, was cautioned for tripping Emerson Palmieri on a counterattack just a few minutes later, and the referee only issued a warning for a subsequent late challenge on James Ward-Prowse. He was likely the only player in the stadium who disagreed that it warranted a second yellow card.
Ultimately, Newcastle was able to refocus at halftime and significantly improve for the second half, which is when the red card should have ended the game for the Hammers. The judgment was called “a disgrace” by Sky Sports analyst Jamie O’Hara.
Nayef Aguerd needs to pick up his displays
Recent performances by Aguerd for the Hammers have been questionable, and he was at fault for Newcastle’s second goal when Alexander Isak intimidated him before tapping the ball into the empty net.
Questions will need to be raised regarding his ongoing starting position on the team considering that he has turned the ball over 13 times, has a pass completion percentage of just 63, and has failed to make a single tackle, interception, or block a shot.
Konstantinos Mavropanos joined Moyes from Stuttgart during the summer transfer window to give him more defensive depth, and this could be the right time to put it to use.When called upon, his performances have given him a chance to play first-team football, and Aguerd hasn’t done enough to maintain his
