Spurs have shown a strong interest in signing West Ham United’s star forward Jarrod Bowen during the January transfer window, but West Ham has firmly shut down any immediate move.
Spurs, under manager Thomas Frank, are targeting Bowen to bolster their wide-forward options. Reports suggest they’re preparing a bid of around £52-60 million, potentially part of a £110-130 million double deal that could also include Porto’s Samu Aghehowa. To fund this, Tottenham may offload Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, whom Frank views as not up to par. Bowen’s versatility (he can play across the front line) and his 28-year-old prime make him an ideal fit for Spurs’ attacking needs.
“West Ham sources acknowledge players could leave, but Jarrod Bowen will not be one of them – the club know they can’t even consider letting him go in January. Tottenham love Bowen, but they are not alone, and whilst I don’t see him going in the New Year, come the summer, it’s going to be hard to see West Ham keeping hold of him.”
So, by the looks of it, fans will have more time to invest in such amusements as PUBG Mobile UC on Eneba, which is a gaming industry giant of the modern generation, and has singlehandedly been responsible for initiating the massive popularity of the entire Battle Royale genre.
The Hammers have outright dismissed Tottenham’s enquiry, issuing a clear “no sale” policy for January. With West Ham languishing in 19th place and fighting relegation, Bowen is seen as indispensable—his 5 goals and 3 assists this season are vital. Club sources emphasise that Bowen’s contract runs until 2030, so any future deal would command a premium fee (potentially £100m+ if West Ham stay up).
The player has reportedly expressed admiration for Frank (from his Brentford days), but there’s no indication he’s pushing for a move. His loyalty to West Ham amid their struggles could play a role.
