Crystal Palace will look to sign 29-year-old English international Jarrod Bowen from West Ham United this summer.
According to a report by The Sun, Jarrod Bowen is the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. The Eagles are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker in the final days of the ongoing transfer window, and they have set their sights on the 29-year-old West Ham United forward.
Per the Sun, the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League winners are ready to offer £50 million to sign Bowen in the coming days. However, a move may not be straightforward, as the Englishman recently pledged his immediate future to West Ham, committing to a Premier League promotion-clinching campaign.
Jarrod Bowen and his time at West Ham United so far
Jarrod Bowen was one of the most reliable attackers in the Premier League following his move to West Ham United from Hull City in a deal worth over £20 million in January 2020. The 29-year-old took no time to make his mark as a top-flight player, and he has been a talismanic figure for West Ham in the last six and a half seasons.
The English international has made 283 appearances for West Ham thus far, amassing 86 goals and 65 assists. Bowen was the leading light for the East London outfit in a frustrating 2025/26 season, scoring 11 goals and providing 12 assists in 42 appearances. However, despite West Ham’s relegation, he remains a sought-after target, with Crystal Palace among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Premier League return on the cards?
Crystal Palace’s interest in Jarrod Bowen makes logical and tactical sense and reflects a gap that could open up in the coming days. The Eagles are in a spot of bother over Ismaila Sarr’s long-term future amid his links with Galatasaray, with the Senegalese international reportedly pushing to join the Turkish Super Lig champions.
Despite signing Dwight McNeil from Everton, the 2025/26 UEFA Europa Conference League winners need more quality in the final third. Bowen has thus emerged as a viable target, as his extensive experience in the Premier League will allow him to hit the ground running at Selhurst Park.
The versatile English attacker appears to be in fine form at the start of the 2026/27 season, having scored once and provided two assists in three outings thus far. However, with Bowen reportedly committed to West Ham, prising him away from the London Stadium will be a tall order for Crystal Palace, even though recouping £50 million from his sale can be appealing.
