Rumours of a possible transfer for Jarrod Bowen, the 28-year-old English forward from West Ham United, to Tottenham Hotspur have been gaining momentum in recent hours. According to a recent report from The Boy Hotspur Substack, Tottenham are preparing an official offer of approximately £53 million to sign the captain of their London rivals, aiming to bolster their attack under the management of Thomas Frank. Tottenham’s interest stems from the notion that Bowen could be a high-impact signing to strengthen their attack, especially given his versatility as a right-winger and his experience in the Premier League and with the England national team. Bowen ranks 11th among the world’s best right-wingers, praised for his “remarkable rise,” dependability, and ability to deliver career-best seasons (e.g., 20 goals across all competitions in 2023/24 and 14 in 2024/25 despite West Ham’s inconsistencies). He was also included in ESPN’s top 50 Premier League players ahead of the 2025/26 season. Analysts have noted that he has “taken his game to an elite level,” scoring five headed goals in one Premier League season alone—a dramatic improvement. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher called him “one of the greatest players to have ever played for the club,” while even his father-in-law, Danny Dyer, admitted he’d only allow a move to “two elite clubs.” In EA Sports FC 26, he’s rated 83 overall, reflecting his high-end attributes. Bowen, who has been a key player for the Hammers, could be considering a move if the offer aligns with his ambitions to compete for titles at a more competitive club. A decision could be imminent, as Tottenham are “preparing” the official proposal. However, there is no confirmation of an agreement nor a response from West Ham so far. These rumours have mainly originated from sources such as Fichajes.net, BBC Sport, and CaughtOffside, and are framed within the context of the upcoming winter transfer window. Bowen has scored 5 goals in the 2025/26 season so far, making him even more attractive. The whole London derby/West Ham World Cup debacle could complicate negotiations.
