Jarrod Bowen Transfer from West Ham United to Everton
Football Insider confirms Everton have opened a preliminary enquiry and initiated formal contact to sign West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen, with interest now an active pursuit led by manager David Moyes. Moyes views the 29‑year‑old England international as the ideal addition to bring proven Premier League output to Everton’s attack, potentially replacing Iliman Ndiaye.
The core sticking point is valuation. Everton’s opening proposal stands at around £20 million—an amount West Ham’s board has immediately rejected. Per Alan Nixon, while Moyes is pushing for that £20 million bid, the east London club considers it far too low, especially after Daniel Kretinsky increased his shareholding. Sources suggest West Ham would require roughly £45 million for serious talks, and only an offer north of £50 million would be deemed impossible to turn down.
Following West Ham’s relegation, Everton believe the pathway has opened, with Moyes keen to reunite with Bowen. Yet Team Talk notes the player’s own preference remains a key variable: the move hinges on whether Bowen wants to link up again with his former manager and secure a swift return to top‑flight football.
Everton’s hierarchy accepts negotiations will be lengthy and is preparing for patience, knowing they must significantly upgrade their valuation to match West Ham’s stance. For now, Bowen remains a West Ham player; no agreement is close, and the gap between the two sides remains substantial.
