Tottenham have suffered a massive blow in their pursuit of Jarrod Bowen, as West Ham United won’t sell him for any price.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, West Ham United will not be negotiating the departure of Jarrod Bowen in January. The London club’s owner, David Sullivan, has made it clear that they won’t sell their attacking mainstay at ‘any price’ mid-season. It is a massive blow for Tottenham Hotspur, who were looking to sign the 29-year-old to reinforce their attack.
After making a name for himself at Hull City, Bowen made the move to West Ham at the start of 2020. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years and has been amongst the best forwards in the Premier League over the last few seasons.
The English international contributed towards 24 goals last season, and he has carried that form into the new season. The 29-year-old has seven goal contributions so far, and yet again, he has been one of the standout performers for the Hammers.
While his contract runs until the summer of 2030, interest in his signature remains as high as ever. Sullivan has already shunned interest in Bowen on multiple occasions in the past, including last summer. Despite that, clubs are still willing to try their luck in the upcoming transfer window.
West Ham won’t negotiate Bowen’s departure
In the past, the West Ham owner has suggested that he would want in excess of £100 million to even consider his sale. However, it seems he has an even stronger stance with regard to his future this time around. Sullivan has made it clear that Bowen is untouchable for now, and they won’t even think about selling him at any price.
The London club believe letting him go mid-season could significantly hamper their chances of surviving in the English top flight. West Ham’s stance is a massive blow for Tottenham, who have a long-standing interest in the 29-year-old.
The North London club have enquired about him in each of their last four transfer windows. With Thomas Frank keen on having more firepower in the final third, Spurs were considering making a move in January as well. However, they will now have to look at other options after West Ham’s stance has been revealed.
