What Thomas Frank has already said about Jarrod Bowen as Tottenham ready £52m bid
Thomas Frank could be set to bring Jarrod Bowen to Tottenham.
Graham Potter wouldn’t discuss Bowen’s exit at West Ham earlier in the year as links away from the London Stadium continued to build.
The England international remained in E20, but Tottenham fans still want Bowen to complete a switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
West Ham have said they don’t want to sell Bowen in the past, as the claret and blue outfit remain keen on keeping their captain.
The Hammers are now in a precarious position, and Frank could make a move to sign Bowen, especially after previously showing admiration for him.

What has Thomas Frank said about Bowen?
The Danish head coach hasn’t been afraid of discussing the forward in the past and could now be set to work with him in N17.
Back in his Brentford days, Frank spoke highly of the former Hull City star ahead of a clash with Graham Potter’s West Ham side.
Speaking in February 2025, he said: “I remember Bowen from the Championship. He has been their [West Ham’s] go-to, main threat, more or less from the first season he signed.
“He is the guy that drives the team, he can score all sorts of goals – outside of the box, counter attack, dribbling, finishing, arriving in the box – there’s no doubt that he’s a key player we need to keep quiet.“
The Bees boss also remarked that “Bowen was unplayable” when the forward netted a hat-trick against Brentford last season.
It is clear that Frank admires Bowen’s ability and that he now has a perfect opportunity to work with him in North London.
