Overview
- Everton officially registered preliminary contact with West Ham over Jarrod Bowen on June 25, and sources say talks have moved beyond informal interest.
- Bowen, 29 and West Ham captain, is widely expected to seek a Premier League exit after relegation and is said to be weighing multiple top-flight offers.
- The winger produced roughly nine goals and 11 assists last season and is under contract at West Ham until 2030, with the club understood to value him at about £50m.
- David Moyes’s past role in Bowen’s move to West Ham is cited as a negotiating advantage for Everton as they try to plug a clear scoring shortfall in their squad.
- Several other Premier League clubs are tracking Bowen and West Ham are braced for multiple bids, a development that could ease the club’s post-relegation financial pressure and affect Bowen’s England prospects.
