Tottenham Hotspur are plotting to raid their London rivals for their best player this summer, if they avoid Premier League relegation.
Spurs’ attack has struggled to create chances and make an impact in the final third, and the injuries across the forward line have not helped.
One would expect the Lilywhites to prioritise adding more firepower to their attack in the summer, having failed to do so in the January window.
They poached an attacker from one of their fierce rivals last summer, and they could now raid the same club again this summer, depending on what transpires over the next few months.
Tottenham eye Jarrod Bowen move as his West Ham future in doubt
TEAMtalk have now revealed that Spurs have had a ‘longstanding admiration’ for Jarrod Bowen, having enquired about him on multiple occasions over recent transfer windows.
It is revealed that Tottenham see the West Ham captain as a ‘complete footballer’, who can take them closer to their aspirations.
The report adds that Bowen’s commitment to the Hammers is now being tested amidst their struggles to stay in the Premier League.
The winger is said to be ‘very open’ about his future as the likes of Tottenham circle around him, and he could depart the London Stadium if the East London side were to be relegated.
West Ham remaining firm regarding Bowen
TEAMtalk reveal that the 29-year-old is also on the radars of Manchester United, who are keen on bolstering their attack with more options.
West Ham are in a strong negotiating position as Bowen’s current deal with the club runs until 2030.
The Hammers are ‘fiercely proactive’ of the former Hull man and could demand a fee of around €60m (£52.5m) to sell him this summer, although that asking price could drop if they go down to the Championship.
