Everton have been linked with a move for Jarrod Bowen, with West Ham United facing up to the prospect of being relegated.
The Hammers suffered a devastating loss at the weekend to Arsenal at London Stadium, and Tottenham Hotspur’s draw with Leeds United last night puts them two points adrift of safety.
Would you rather Everton sign Summerville or Bowen this summer? 👀
They’ll fight hard to survive, but dropping into the Championship will mean a number of their players leave.
Everton have already been linked with a move for Crysencio Summerville, who’s been particularly bright for the Hammers in 2026.
But it appears that David Moyes also has eyes on the Irons’ talisman Jarrod Bowen.
Everton keen on Jarrod Bowen as West Ham face relegation
It’s been reported by the Daily Mail that Everton are now one of three clubs in the mix to sign Jarrod Bowen.
Bowen has long been seen as West Ham’s main man, having developed into a top winger during his six-and-a-half years at the club.
The 29-year-old has bagged 84 goals and made 62 assists in 278 appearances for the club, and has shone again this term in a struggling team scoring 10 and making 11 assists.

| Goals – 84 |
| Assists – 62 |
| Trophies – 1 |
The Daily Mail say that interest is already building in Bowen amid West Ham’s precarious position in the league table.
Everton are keen, but there could be competition from Liverpool, who are losing Mo Salah at the end of the season.
Newcastle United are also mentioned, as they could sell Anthony Gordon.
It seems that Bowen could actually leave West Ham though even if the club avoid relegation.
The Daily Mail add that he could be given clearance to move, and that he could be prised away for less than £60 million.
Everton may well have an advantage in the race due to the fact that David Moyes spent years working with Bowen at West Ham.
Bowen was key for the Scot, who knows he needs more quality in his attacking line going into next season.
With Bowen a proven performer in the Premier League, and the Moyes connection, Everton’s links to him were perhaps inevitable.
