West Ham’s star forward Jarrod Bowen has reaffirmed his commitment to the club despite reported interest from Newcastle United, as per recent reports.

The England international, who has netted 20 goals across all competitions this season, is reportedly on Eddie Howe’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window. However, Bowen has no intention of leaving the Hammers, having signed a lucrative contract extension until 2030 last October, according to the Daily Mirror.

West Ham are equally determined to retain their talisman, particularly as they grapple with uncertainty surrounding Lucas Paqueta. Paqueta, who had been tipped for a move to Manchester City this summer, is currently embroiled in an FA betting rules breach investigation, further intensifying the club’s resolve to keep Bowen.

Bowen and his family are deeply committed to West Ham, where he is viewed as a central figure in Julen Lopetegui’s new project. Lopetegui was recently appointed as the replacement for David Moyes, underscoring the club’s ambition and the significant role Bowen plays in their future plans.

At 27, Bowen harbors aspirations of playing in the Champions League. However, he remains steadfast in his loyalty to West Ham, making it clear that it would take an extraordinary offer to tempt him away. Liverpool have also shown interest in Bowen, with former manager Jurgen Klopp being an admirer, but no concrete moves have materialized.

Reflecting on his future and his contract extension, Bowen stated: “This club gave me the opportunity when no one else wanted to. It’s only fair that I repay that faith. I want to stay here and I want to stay here for the rest of my career.”

For now, it appears Bowen’s heart remains firmly with West Ham, ensuring that any suitors will face a formidable challenge in trying to lure him away from the London club.
