Overview
- James Ward‑Prowse has been left out of Nuno Espirito Santo’s first two matchday squads and is reported to be preparing a January departure, with West Ham ready to consider offers.
- Jarrod Bowen is described by plugged‑in reporters as happy and settled, contracted until 2030, and unlikely to be sold unless a very large bid arrives.
- Some outlets add that Bowen could reconsider his future if results do not improve, a scenario framed as contingent rather than active.
- Insiders say Nuno is drawing up January targets tailored to his style, with Fulham’s Adama Traoré linked as a potential reunion option rather than a completed move.
- West Ham drew 1-1 at Everton before a 2-0 loss to Arsenal and sit 19th on four points, with fan protests continuing as Opta data highlights Bowen’s value with the league’s best goals vs xG rating.
