Simon Phillips reports that Chelsea wants to add winger Jarrod Bowen from West Ham United this summer in order to strengthen their аttаck.
The trustworthy writer writes on his Substack page (April 25) that the west London club wants to offload at least two of its present players to make room for four other wingers.
Hammers star Bowen is one of those choices, but given that the England international signed a new contract that runs until 2030 before this season, a deal is now viewed as “unlikely.”
Will Jarrod Bowen be sold by West Ham United?
Could any of the team’s players follow David Moyes, who is rumored to be leaving the London Stadium this summer?
Manchester City is keeping a close eye on Lucas Paqueta, and a transfer is anticipated. A number of other players have also been connected to transfers away.
However, Bowen has been the team’s greatest player thus far this season, and they were wise to safeguard themselves early in the season by locking him down to a new, long-term contract. But football is never quite that simple.
Everyone is aware of Chelsea’s extravagant spending during the last few transfer windows under Todd Boehly, so it would be impossible to reject them if they made a crаzy offer to the Hammers.
But if the board truly wants to advance the squad, they can’t let its finest players go, especially not to a rival team where they can be of more assistance. In any case, this shouldn’t even be taken into consideration.
