West Ham’s England international forward Jarrod Bowen is interesting both Aston Villa and Everton. The Hammers are believed to value the 29-year-old at around £50m.

Everton are believed to have already made enquiries over the forward’s services, with Toffees boss David Moyes keen on signing the forward.

Bowen produced good numbers despite the Hammers’ relegation

Jarrod Bowen is almost certain to leave the club from the east end of London this summer after the Irons were relegated from the Premier League.

Despite the team’s relegation, Bowen still enjoyed a decent campaign individually, scoring 9 goals and producing 11 assists in the Premier League, having been an ever-present.

Not just his goal contributions make him an attractive prospect. He is versatile, being able to play on either flank or up front, and also works hard for the team.

Who is more likely to sign Bowen?

Aston Villa have the edge in signing Bowen this summer, as they can offer Champions League football next season after finishing fourth in the table last season.

Reports suggest Villa would have to sell a big player this summer to make their own moves. The Villans’ attacking midfielder, Morgan Rogers, is being heavily linked with a move to reigning English champions Arsenal.

If the England international does leave the Midlands club, then they would have the funds to launch a bid for Bowen.

One advantage that Everton may hold in signing the forward is that Bowen has previously worked with Toffees boss Moyes, who he reportedly holds in high esteem.

Bowen is reported to be open to exploring a move to the Merseyside outfit, although the Villa move may well prove slightly more attractive.

Villa is likely to mount another top-four challenge, while it’s unknown what the targets are for Everton until after the club has conducted more summer business.
