Jarrod Bowen has emerged as one of the most sought-after players heading into the summer transfer window, with three Premier League clubs vying for the West Ham skipper’s signature.
The forward has been a vital player ever since arriving from Brentford in January 2020, but could depart amid uncertainty behind the scenes.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool represent the strongest challengers, having tracked the 29-year-old for some time as they seek wide options and a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.
Newcastle are equally keen to bolster their forward line, with Eddie Howe reportedly preparing to part ways with Anthony Gordon.
David Moyes at Everton also has his sights set on reuniting with the player he originally brought to the London Stadium from Hull City for £22million six years ago.
West Ham face a turbulent summer amid significant uncertainty at board level following Karren Brady’s resignation in April after 16 years serving as co-chair.
The club is preparing for potential upheaval regardless of their Premier League survival, with a growing sense that Bowen may be permitted to depart even should they avoid the drop.

Interested parties believe the England international could be secured for a fee below £60million, despite his importance to the squad.
Should West Ham suffer relegation after 14 consecutive seasons in the top flight, the financial consequences would be severe and activate various contractual clauses throughout the squad.
Bowen has delivered outstanding service to the Hammers across six and a half seasons, finishing as the club’s leading scorer in four of the past five campaigns.

The winger has worn the captain’s armband for two years and etched his name into club history by netting the decisive goal in the 2023 Europa Conference League final triumph under Moyes.
That victory prompted him to commit his future with a seven-year contract extension.
Despite his achievements, Bowen has never publicly expressed any wish to move elsewhere.
Off the pitch, he is married to Dani Dyer, whose father Danny is a well-known celebrity supporter of the east London club.
Crysensio Summerville represents another player certain to draw interest when the season concludes.

The winger enjoyed a prolific spell during the middle of the campaign, finding the net seven times across a ten-match run of impressive form for the Hammers.
His performances have not gone unnoticed by rival clubs, with Tottenham having weighed up a potential move during the January window before ultimately opting against pursuing a deal.
With West Ham facing an uncertain future both on and off the pitch, Summerville’s availability could make him an attractive proposition for clubs seeking attacking reinforcements this summer.
What ultimately happens remains to be seen.
