Alex Crook raises Bowen exit prospect in West Ham United transfer update..
Jarrod Bowen’s future at West Ham United has once again been brought into question.
The Hammers captain is under a long-term contract at the London Stadium until 2030, but the 28-year-old could still move on to pastures new in the summer transfer window.
Bowen has been knocking on the door of breaking into the England starting lineup in recent times, and a move to one of the Premier League’s ‘big clubs’ might be something that aids that.
Bowen is notoriously West Ham through and through, but there is no shortage of opportunities for him away from the Hammers due to his consistent performances.
The England international has proven himself as being capable of playing at the top end of the Premier League due to his attacking output, and that in itself would make him an ideal option for other teams.

Jarrod Bowen could search for a new opportunity
Bowen has previously been linked with a move away from the Hammers, but it will remain to be seen if any of them end up materialising, although it’s expected he will be in the rumour mill throughout the summer window.
Speaking on talkSPORT (21 April), Alex Crook questioned what it would take for West Ham to sell Bowen during the upcoming window.

He said he’s “not sure how much money” it would cost, but the fact that those conversations are already happening isn’t a good sign for West Ham’s ability to retain Bowen.
Crook went on to add in a transfer update regarding West Ham as a whole that he is not sure exactly how much money the Hammers will now have to spend this summer unless players are sold.
Jarrod Bowen would be tough to replace
Bowen leaving West Ham would leave an obvious hole in the squad due to the fact he’s the best player in the squad.
The fact that Lucas Paqueta is also expected to leave in the summer transfer window makes Bowen’s future even more important, as Potter would have a very tough time replacing both of them.
Bowen is a constant goal threat for the Hammers, while also providing plenty of opportunities for others, while his versatility in terms of positions also makes him a great option to have.
Unfortunately for the Irons, all of those qualities also make him an ideal signing for various teams in the Premier League, which would cause issues for Potter if he was to move on.

After what has been a dismal campaign for West Ham, it has become apparent that they need to recruit well this summer and have no margin for error.
Having recently won a European trophy, the regression has been startling, and things haven’t improved much under Graham Potter.
However, if Potter is to remain in charge next season, he needs to be backed, and as per the latest update on Felix, it seems as though the Irons are prepared to do that.

Felix set for Chelsea exit this summer
West Ham will have already drafted up their recruitment plans for the summer, and based on previous failures, it is imperative that they make the right decisions.
