Liverpool are strong contenders to sign £60m-rated Bowen this summer

The departure of long-serving co-chair Karren Brady in April has added to the instability surrounding the club, while the threat of relegation continues to loom large.

Even if West Ham retain their Premier League status, there is a growing expectation among rival clubs that Bowen could be allowed to leave under the right circumstances.

Sources close to the situation believe he may be available for under £60 million, a figure likely to alert Liverpool.

However, Liverpool will have to move quickly as they are not alone in the race to sign the England international.

Newcastle United are also monitoring his situation, while Everton boss David Moyes also admires the winger.

Bowen has been one of West Ham’s standout performers since arriving in East London, scoring consistently and captaining the side over the last two seasons.

He famously netted the winner in the 2023 Europa Conference League final under Moyes before committing his future to the Hammers with a seven-year contract.

Despite never publicly pushing for a move away from West Ham, Bowen is now at the centre of one of the developing summer transfer battles, with Liverpool firmly in the mix.
