The England international has recorded a combined 21 goals and assists this season.Bowen has been a standout performer since joining from Hull in January 2020 and remains one of the most highly regarded players in West Ham’s recent history.The 29-year-old, who will hope to be included in England’s World Cup squad, famously scored the winning goal in the 2020 Conference League final victory over Fiorentina.Liverpool have long been admirers of Bowen, while Manchester United are also keen to add depth in attack following Champions League qualification, with Bowen’s versatility seen as a major asset.While he primarily operates on the right wing, he can also play as a central striker, and United are considering him as an option on the left flank as well.Chelsea remain another potential destination. Although they have largely focused on signing younger players, they are now keen to add more experience.Their interest in Bowen is not at an advanced stage, but they believe he could provide competition on the right and offer cover in attacking roles.It remains unclear how much West Ham would demand for Bowen, who is under contract until 2030, but the club could come under significant pressure to sell key assets if relegation is confirmed.
