Jarrod Bowen thought Newcastle transfer was 'nailed on' before West Ham made Magpies pay

West Ham star Jarrod Bowen has recalled how he missed out on a move to Newcastle United because the club wouldn't pay £14m for him in 2020.

The 26-year-old joined the Hammers from Hull City, but almost made the move to St. James' Park instead if the Magpies hadn't been so tight with their cash. The move would've seen him be reunited with Steve Bruce, with the then-Newcastle manager having helped Bowen find his best success with the Tigers.

"So it was on Deadline Day, and I was just sat there doing nothing. I thought I was going to Newcastle because Steve Bruce was there," Bowen claimed on Premier League's Behind The Game alongside Ian Wright and rapper Tinie Tempah.
