BREAKING NEWS: Jarrod Bowen finally speaks on leaving West Ham United this summer

In spite of Newcastle’s alleged interest, Jarrod Bowen wishes to remain at West Ham this summer.

Eddie Howe is keeping an eye on the England international,

who is vying for a spot in Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man team for the European Championships in Germany.

This season, he has scored 20 goals across all competitions.

However, Bowen is not going anywhere after agreeing to a lucrative contract extension through 2030 in October of last year.

In addition, West Ham is not interested in selling as they worry about Lucas Paqueta’s future after he was accused

Bowen and his extended family are very fond of the club, and he feels very at ease there.

In east London, he is also seen as the face of Julen Lopetegui’s bold makeover initiative.

Additionally, sources emphasize that he would only probably consider offers that would allow him

to realize his dream of playing in the Champions League,

but even in that case, leaving West Ham may still be difficult, and there’s no certainty he would jump ship.

Jurgen Klopp is a major fan of Bowen, who he termed his “favourite” player back in December.

Liverpool has long admired Bowen, but the Reds have never shown any interest in signing the prolific forward.

Furthermore, Bowen’s career is currently at a point where a transfer that would change his life and

a hefty price would be required to pry him away from the Hammers.

Even though Newcastle has the Three Lions star on their wishlist, they are aware that closing a deal would be quite challenging.

Any prospective suitors would probably find Mohammed Kudus easier to acquire after the Ghanaian scored an

incredible 15 goals in his London Stadium debut season.

It’s thought that the former Ajax attacker’s contract had a release clause, albeit the exact amount is yet unknown.

New Irons boss Lopetegui wants to execute big plans at West Ham and keeping hold of Bowen and

Kudus will undoubtedly prove key to the Spaniard’s success.

He said after being formally unveiled by the Hammers earlier this week:

“We came here with the idea and the thought to make a big, big noise.

That’s why we came here, and we are excited by this challenge.

“Of course, we are going to do our best to help the club and the team to achieve the best level and

to achieve our aims. I assure the fans that they are going to be key in all our achievements.”

Flamengo’s Brazil international centre-back Fabricio Bruno could be the first signing of the new regime.
