Newcastle United are reportedly interested in West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen, as the Magpies look to strengthen their squad for another push up the Premier League standings next season, according to TEAMtalk.
With their ambitious plans tempered by the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and a series of injuries, Newcastle’s recruitment team is actively scouting players who could help them reach a top-four finish. Bowen, a standout performer for West Ham and an England international, has emerged as a prime target. However, securing his transfer could prove challenging, as the 27-year-old is under contract at West Ham until 2030 and commands one of the club’s highest wages.
Newcastle hope that fresh revenue streams and potential player sales will enhance their financial flexibility in the upcoming transfer windows. TEAMtalk reports that the Magpies are keeping a close eye on Bowen’s situation, yet any move would require a substantial bid to tempt West Ham to part with their prized forward.
Bowen has attracted attention from several top clubs in recent years, including Liverpool, his boyhood team. Anticipating the growing interest, West Ham recently extended Bowen’s contract to 2030, positioning him as one of the club’s cornerstones. For Newcastle, bringing Bowen to St. James’ Park would require a record-breaking offer, either in January or next summer, to sway the Hammers to let go of one of their key players.
Newcastle’s pursuit of Bowen signals their intent to compete at the highest levels, despite financial and injury hurdles.
