Arsenal News Transfer: Pete O’Rourke, a journalist, says that for Arsenal to get Jarrod Bowen away from West Ham, they will have to pay a lot of money. Bowen had a great season in east London in 2021/22. It looks like one of West Ham’s Premier League rivals has taken notice of him.
What’s the most recent news about Bowen?
The Gunners seem to want to improve their options on the right flank to give Bukayo Saka some competition. The Beautiful Game Podcast said that Leeds’ Raphinha is on Arsenal’s short list of players they want to sign. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
The north London club also likes Bowen. It has been said that Arsenal has talked to Bowen’s agents to see how likely it is that a deal will be made.

What has O’Rourke said about the fact that Arsenal wants to sign Bowen?
O’Rourke thinks that Arsenal’s interest in Bowen is real. But the winger still has three years left on his contract at West Ham. So O’Rourke thinks it will be hard for Arsenal to sign the England player. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
“I’m sure Arsenal would be interested in Jarrod Bowen. I think he had a great season for West Ham. But I can’t see them letting him go to one of their rivals for a place in the top four. They will have to pay a lot of money for Jarrod Bowen. You might be looking at £50m to £60m,” he told GIVEMESPORT.
Where would Bowen fit at Arsenal?
Some people may be surprised that Bowen has been linked to Arsenal, since Saka, who plays on the right-wing, is one of the best young players in English football right now. The 20-year-old scored 11 goals and set up seven more in the league last season. Arsenal chose him as their Player of the Year. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]

Still, depth will be very important next season, when Arsenal will be playing in Europe again. Bowen has shown throughout his career that he can also play as a central striker or a No. 10. This means that he could challenge Martin Odegaard for his spot on the team or even play as a “false nine” at times.
He has also done well against Arsenal in the past. Last year, he “ran Kieran Tierney ragged,” and Paul Merson has called him “outstanding.” At the end of last season, Arteta’s team looked tired. This could be because Arsenal’s manager wasn’t able to switch up his team as much as he would have liked. [ Arsenal News Transfer ]
Adding a player like Bowen would help fix this problem for next season and give Arsenal the best chance it can get to the top four.
