TBR Football understand Jarrod Bowen holds some concerns about West Ham under Graham Potter – with Tottenham closely monitoring the situation.

The England international has performed relatively well under the man from Solihull – scoring four goals and providing two assists in the ten games since he replaced Julen Lopetegui.

However, the Hammers have struggled collectively in that space of time, picking up just three wins in 14 games and suffering seven defeats.

The 1-1 draw against Southampton last time out was particularly concerning, as Graham Potter allowed the side with just 11 points this season to turn up at the London Stadium and register 15 shots against West Ham.

Now, TBR Football understand this worrying form is having an impact on Jarrod Bowen – who Tottenham are keen to sign.

Jarrod Bowen concerned at West Ham as Tottenham monitor situation

Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent for TBR Football – has now been told that the West Ham No.20 is happy in east London, but holds some concerns about the patchy form under Potter.

We understand Tottenham and Newcastle have been in constant contact about Bowen – both with West Ham and the forward’s representatives – but have received little encouragement that a deal can be done.

West Ham consider the £22m arrival from Hull – who joined back in January 2020 – as the only “unsellable” asset at the London Stadium, despite the fact the east Londoners do need to sell this summer if they want to make reinforcements.

TBR Football understand West Ham want Mohammed Kudus to be the main sale which helps them out in terms of PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules).

Bowen has scored ten goals and provided seven assists in 31 appearances across all competitions so far this season.

What Jurgen Klopp said about Jarrod Bowen speaks volumes

It is no surprise to hear that Tottenham admire the 28-year-old, as he has some very famous supporters.

Jurgen Klopp adores Bowen, even calling the West Ham captain his “favourite” player in the Premier League while at Liverpool, saying: “Bowen steps up in that position (striker)– probably my favourite player besides my players – it’s just great what he’s doing and how he develops.”

Harry Redknapp is also a fan of Bowen, adding: “Look at Bowen, I remember watching Bowen play for Hull against Chelsea one night on TV in a cup game, and he ran Chelsea ragged, but Chelsea never came in for him. A couple of months later West Ham take a gamble and look at how good he’s been.”

The man born in Leominster is – at least – contracted to West Ham until June 2030, so the Hammers find themselves in a strong position.
