Report: Liverpool, Newcastle United and Everton are in the race for Premier League forward
West Ham could face a defining decision over Jarrod Bowen this summer, regardless of whether they preserve their Premier League status. It is a situation that speaks volumes about the uncertainty surrounding the club after Karren Brady’s departure and amid fears of a major rebuild at the London Stadium.
Bowen has become synonymous with West Ham’s modern era. Reliable, resilient and relentlessly productive, he has carried the attacking burden for much of the past six years. From the winning goal in the Europa Conference League final to four seasons as the club’s leading scorer, his influence stretches far beyond statistics.

Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton are all reportedly monitoring developments, according to the Daily Mail. Liverpool’s admiration is long established as they continue planning for life beyond . Newcastle are considering attacking reinforcements as Eddie Howe prepares for potential outgoings, while David Moyes knows Bowen’s qualities better than most after bringing him to West Ham from Hull City in 2020.

For Liverpool, Bowen represents familiarity and dependability. He understands the demands of Premier League football, presses aggressively and delivers goals consistently from wide areas. At 29, he may not fit the profile of a developmental signing, yet elite clubs also require proven performers capable of making an immediate impact.

There is also a practical argument. Reports suggesting Bowen could be available for under £60million would inevitably attract attention in a market where established Premier League attackers often command far higher fees.
Newcastle’s interest feels equally logical. Bowen’s intensity and versatility align naturally with Eddie Howe’s style. If Anthony Gordon departs, Newcastle would need players capable of maintaining attacking output while also embracing the defensive discipline Howe demands.

Everton’s involvement carries emotional undertones because of Moyes’ relationship with the player. Bowen thrived under the Scot at West Ham, producing some of the finest football of his career. A reunion would represent ambition from Everton, although competing financially with Liverpool or Newcastle could prove difficult.

Bowen himself has remained professional throughout. Despite his status and growing external interest, there has never been any public indication of unrest or agitation for a move.
For Liverpool, Bowen looks like a smart rather than glamorous signing. Supporters would appreciate his work ethic, durability and proven Premier League quality. There would be understandable concerns over age profile and resale value, yet many fans would trust his consistency in a title chasing squad.
Newcastle supporters would likely view Bowen as another statement of intent. His arrival could soften the blow of losing Anthony Gordon and add further depth to an ambitious project pushing towards regular Champions League football.
Everton fans, meanwhile, would probably see this as a symbolic move under Moyes. Bowen embodies the grit and directness many supporters admire. Even if the deal feels unlikely financially, the mere connection hints at Everton aiming higher than simple survival battles.
