Jarrod Bowen will not be sold by West Ham under any circumstances, despite reports that Newcastle United are lining up a transfer move.
The reports emerging this afternoon suggest the Magpies are exploring new revenue streams following a restriction on their finances due to PSR rules.
Owned by a Saudi Arabian investment fund, Newcastle boasts the wealthiest backing in world football, yet they’ve struggled to fully utilise their financial power. However, they’re believed to still have funds for a major signing, after failing to secure Marc Guéhi during the summer transfer window.
Now, they’ve reportedly identified Guéhi’s England teammate Bowen, who is under contract at the London Stadium until 2030. The Hammers’ winger, who has been given the captain’s armband this season, is expected to thrive under any coach, even if Julen Lopetegui’s future at the club remains uncertain.
C&H has been informed on multiple occasions by club sources that Bowen is not for sale at any price—certainly not at the £70 million Newcastle allegedly values him at.
It would be far more likely that the rumoured interest in Mohammed Kudus resulted in a transfer although the club are not looking to offload the Ghanaian anytime soon.
West Ham travels to St. James’ Park on November 25th.
