West Ham stance
West Ham are not currently open to selling Bowen this summer, claims journalist Ben Jacobs. It mirrors a similar stance taken by the Hammers towards interest in Declan Rice, with a potentially huge offer needed to land the 25-year-old's signature.
He told GiveMeSport: "With Bowen, West Ham’s stance remains that they really don’t want to sell, so there’s a lot of clubs circling over Bowen, but the challenge, much like Declan Rice, is persuading West Ham to sell during this window and West Ham remain pretty intent not to let him go."
Liverpool interest
While Arsenal have been linked with a move for Bowen, Liverpool are also said to be in the race to sign the versatile forward. Transfer insider Dean Jones claims that Jurgen Klopp has been monitoring a move for the winger and could jump at the chance to sign him.
