West Ham look to fend off Liverpool interest by offering star player ‘bumper new contract’

West Ham are reportedly preparing to offer Jarrod Bowen a new contract amid interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool.

This is according to 90min, who claim the Hammers have been planning to offer Bowen a new deal since last November.

Liverpool are reportedly long-time admirers of the 25-year-old, however, the report claims that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested.

Bowen’s current deal expires in 2025 and he is arguably due a pay rise after the season he has just enjoyed.

The forward scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in 51 matches across all competitions as West Ham reached the Europa League semi-final and finished seventh in the Premier League.
