Jarrod Bowen’s future will be one of the biggest talking points of the summer as the West Ham legend is expected to leave.
Especially if the Hammers are relegated to the Championship, the winger will almost certainly find a new club.
Bowen has been linked with many Premier League teams, such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle and Everton.
However, one of West Ham’s London rivals appears to be the leading contender to sign him when the transfer window opens.

The signs are pointing towards Jarrod Bowen joining Chelsea
Jarrod Bowen is reportedly looking to leave West Ham this summer following a frustrating 2025/26 season.
He will likely have the choice of several Premier League clubs, including the two biggest: Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, journalist Simon Phillips has reported that Bowen has “a desire” to stay in London, which can only mean one thing.
The only London club linked with a summer move for Bowen has been Chelsea, who will soon be managed by Xabi Alonso.
The 29-year-old would not have to relocate from London and could return to playing in European competition next season.
Phillips added that Bowen has been on the Blues’ “summer shortlist” for a while, as they consider a formal approach.
The next step for Chelsea will be to learn whether Alonso is interested in bringing Bowen to Stamford Bridge.
How do YOU feel about Jarrod Bowen as a West Ham United captain….
Clearly a legend but a few dissenting voices 👀
The Blues have typically signed younger players under their new ownership, but that is expected to change.
Bowen would certainly offer much-needed Premier League experience to a team wanting to challenge for the title.
Meanwhile, the winger would be competing with Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian and Pedro Neto for a starting place.
West Ham supporters may not consider Chelsea one of their closest rivals, but there is definitely some animosity between the two fanbases.
They would surely rather he went up north to Everton or Newcastle than join the West London club.
