Jarrod Bowen has confirmed he will be staying at West Ham United for the 2026-27 season as the Hammers prepare for their return to the EFL Championship.
Bowen ended weeks of speculation that saw the 29-year-old star linked with a number of Premier League sides. Now, the east Londoner’s title odds have been trimmed upon the news which will certainly be a huge relief to the Iron faithful.
The former Hull winger will play an integral part in Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans to make an immediate return to the top-flight. And our traders firmly believe the second-tier title is heading to the London Stadium.
Jarrod Bowen Confirms West Ham Stay
“The main motivation for me is staying and bringing this club back into the Premier League where we belong,” Jarrod Bowen said.
“There is always going to be rumours and different things going on. For me, it was only right to speak when the time is right, in circumstances like this.
“It hurt everyone and it should hurt everyone. It was such a disappointing thing but it doesn’t last forever.”
Will Crysencio Summerville Leave West Ham?
Mateus Fernandes has already left but will anyone else follow the Portuguese midfielder out the door? The next Crysencio Summerville next club odds market suggest the Dutchman could be moving to Italy.
Summerville was one of the standout performers last season and helped himself to four goal contributions at the 2026 World Cup. It’s currently 2/5 for the former Leeds star to join any Serie A side in the summer window.
