Tottenham Hotspur are making plans for the upcoming summer transfer window, despite their Premier League status for next season being uncertain.
The Lilywhites currently sit just four points above the relegation zone following a poor campaign so far, with interim manager Igor Tudor suffering a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of local rivals Arsenal in his first game in charge.
However, the north London club are hopeful that they will be able to avoid the drop once a number of first-team players return from injury and they start to pick up points, and they are planning a big swoop for a Premier League rival if they are able to do so.
Tottenham Eyeing Jarrod Bowen Swoop
One of Spurs' biggest rivals for relegation are West Ham, who currently sit in 18th place in the Premier League table. Should they be relegated, there are major question marks surrounding the future of captain Jarrod Bowen, and Tottenham are said to be ready to pounce.
According to TEAMtalk, the England international is said to view his future as 'very open', as he doesn't want to play in the Championship during the prime years of his career. However, he also loves the Hammers.
Spurs are understood to be long-term admirers of the right-winger, and if they stay in the top-flight while West Ham go down, then they are primed to swoop to keep him in London and the Premier League.
West Ham obviously don't want to lose the 29-year-old, who is under contract at the London Stadium until 2030, but they know it will be impossible to keep him if they get relegated. That scenario could see his £100m asking price cut nearly in half, with the report stating that he could then become available for around £52m.
Spurs will be hoping to push for European qualification next season after a stinker of a campaign this time around, and Bowen, who has been described as 'world-class', is seen as a perfect fit for their aspirations.
Bowen Has Proven He's Premier League Level
Bowen's record in the Premier League has proven that he is more than good enough to be playing at the highest level, and that would make a move to Spurs very appealing.
Tottenham signed Mohammed Kudus last summer for a similar reason and he impressed before picking up a quadriceps injury, and Bowen could come in and have a similar impact, adding goals and assists to a team that has struggled in attack this year.
