Jarrod Bowen faces ‘biggest decision of his career’ at West Ham as Tottenham ready bid
Jarrod Bowen has been a beacon of light at West Ham in a difficult period.
Bowen came so close to scoring against Leeds United last time out, with his flash of brilliance bringing the away side level.
West Ham went on to lose 2-1 at Leeds, plunging Nuno Espirito Santo into early uncertainty in his role as Hammers boss.
The Irons currently sit 19th in the Premier League and are in desperate need of inspiration, but Bowen will have one eye on the 2026 World Cup England squad.
Bowen could see a move away as his best chance of making a name for himself on the international stage, and could prompt an imminent London Stadium exit.

Tottenham ready to make Jarrod Bowen bid
The East Londoners are in a tough spot right now after going six Premier League games without a win under both Nuno and Graham Potter.
Should Bowen leave West Ham, they could easily face relegation even if 29 games remain at this stage of the campaign.
The skipper is easily the most consistent player in claret and blue and regularly drags his side through difficult days.
The frustration surrounding the Hammers right now could prove to be too much even for the Englishman.
Bowen could see this as an opportunity to leave the London Stadium, with Fichajes reporting on 29 October that he is facing “the biggest decision of his career”.
Tottenham have emerged as a landing destination for the forward should he depart West Ham in order to chase higher ambitions away from the widespread problems in claret and blue.
The Lilywhites are prepared to offer £52million for Bowen as they look to convince the Irons to part ways with their captain and star player.
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank loves what he’s seen from Bowen
When facing the Hammers, it is likely that the ex-Hull City man is seen as their main threat and as someone who needs to be nullified.
That often doesn’t work as Bowen manages to impact games on a weekly basis in claret and blue.
Thomas Frank certainly falls into the camp of picking out the Englishman and did so throughout his spell at Brentford.
The Dane has since joined Tottenham and could look to bring Bowen to N17 after describing him as “unplayable” after he netted a hat-trick against the Bees previously.
The head coach also described the wideman as “really, really good” and West Ham’s “main threat” following previous meetings, underscoring his positivity toward the Irons’ captain.
