West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United and Tottenham, with sources describing his future as "very open" amid uncertainty around the Hammers' Premier League status. The 29-year-old has contributed eight goals and three assists this season while playing almost every minute as West Ham sits 18th in the table, two points from safety.
Bowen signed a contract until 2030 last year, but modern football contracts often reflect value rather than permanence. Manchester United "could target him if West Ham go down, viewing him as a way to boost their attack," while Tottenham see him as a "complete footballer" aligned with their European ambitions. Any permanent transfer would command a substantial fee, estimated around €60 million, though that valuation could change if West Ham is relegated.
