United are keen to add more depth in attack after qualifying for the Champions League and regard Bowen\u2019s versatility as a big plus. He predominantly plays on the right but can operate as a central striker and United are considering him as an option on the left wing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Chelsea are another intriguing option. They have focused on signing young players but are keen to add more experience. Their interest in Bowen is not at an advanced stage but they believe he could offer competition on the right and potentially provide cover for their strikers.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018logical move\u2019 for Bowen<\/p>\n<p>Former Tottenham and Sunderland striker Darren Bent insists that Newcastle would be the \u201clogical move\u201d for Bowen in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Bent said on talkSPORT: \u201cFor me, the logical move for Jarrod Bowen, if he was to leave West Ham and stay in the Premier League, would be Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019ve got to stay in the Premier League as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/arsenal-defining-moment-premier-league-title-win\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Did Arsenal have a \u2018defining moment\u2019 in their Premier League title win?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when I dropped out of the Premier League, I thought I\u2019d come back and I never did. I was desperate to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11685\/13545923\/jarrod-bowen-west-ham-captain-says-premier-league-relegation-worries-were-starting-to-creep-in-last-season\" target=\"_blank\">In an interview with Sky Sports<\/a>, Bowen highlighted where things have gone wrong for West Ham this season.<\/p>\n<p>Bowen said: \u201cI think you\u2019ve got to look at that because it\u2019s been three years this summer since we won a European trophy. Even that season, we finished 14th, we weren\u2019t that great.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe season after we finished up in the top half of the table and from then, we finished 15th last season. We weren\u2019t great, but we got ourselves out of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not like this season has just come straightaway. It was starting to creep in a little bit last season. But we thought we\u2019d be better this season. Obviously, we had a new manager, then we changed manager after a few games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew players coming in. You never want to sit here and give excuses. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m about because ultimately it\u2019s us. It\u2019s all on us. We\u2019re the ones that play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can be set up in a way that you can do things. But when you cross that line, it\u2019s your 11 players on the pitch against their 11 players on the pitch. That\u2019s ultimately what it is. And we just haven\u2019t played well enough. We haven\u2019t been good enough as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowen: \u2018I just haven\u2019t played well enough\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Bowen was also critical of himself, he added:\u00a0\u201cI haven\u2019t played to the standards that I know that I can. I\u2019m big enough to accept that. I just haven\u2019t played well enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On a potential move away from West Ham if they are relegated, Bowen said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve done it since I\u2019ve been at Hull. I sit down at the end of every season and think, what\u2019s best for me? What do I feel? What\u2019s my gut feeling? And then make a decision and go with it there.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his hopes of making Thomas Tuchel\u2019s World Cup squad, Bowen continued:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s probably one of the biggest weeks in my career. So it would be wrong for me to start looking past into the next few weeks and start putting my energy elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love this club. I have a lot of care for this club. So I want to put all my energy into this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of stuff gets printed. That\u2019s what happens in social media and in newspapers these days. A lot of false things get put out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there\u2019s time to speak and time to address different things, then it will come from me because that\u2019s how I work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m quite honest. I\u2019m quite open. I\u2019ll always address different sorts of things. But for me now, my energy has to be into this week. There\u2019s no other way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/arsenal-win-premier-league-title-mailbox-special\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal bottle their way to the Premier League title, so where\u2019s Stewie?! \u2013 a Mailbox special<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd are \u2018keen\u2019 to sign Jarrod Bowen in the summer transfer window for two reasons as West&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":458170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-458169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/458170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
