King backs Tottenham to raid London rivals to sign fan favourite for £65m

Tottenham have been urged to sign Jarrod Bowen from West Ham.

Bowen has long been linked with Tottenham after many years as a true Premier League star at the London Stadium.

Interest has already emerged this season, with Thomas Frank a big fan of Bowen from many occasions of the forward featuring against the Dane.

Bowen has even spoken about Frank in the past, with his glowing review potentially opening himself up to a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium link-up.

The Lilywhites could now take advantage of the current uncertainty in East London by swooping to finally sign Bowen.

Tottenham could now sign Jarrod Bowen from West Ham

Tottenham have been told to sign Bowen from West Ham many times over recent months and years, but a move has never materialised.

It is unclear why the England international has never completed a departure from the Hammers based on their recent struggles.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are firmly in a relegation battle and look destined for a drop to the relegation zone, so their captain could be tempted away this winter.

Former scout Bryan King has urged the Lilywhites to move for Bowen as they look to solve their attacking woes.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, King said: “I wouldn’t be interested in Paqueta. I think he’s a problem.

“If I were going to go for anyone at West Ham, I’d go for Jarrod Bowen, he’d be a decent fit for Tottenham.

“They could demand £65m for him, but they’d be bringing in a really good player.

“I think he’d be better suited to Tottenham than Dominic Solanke or Richarlison, and he’ll cost half of what they cost.

“Of course, it wouldn’t be nice for the West Ham fans because he’s a favourite there, but the fact is, if they go down, he’s not going to stay there.

“In a poor side he’s been playing well, he’s always a threat, so if Tottenham want a forward, that’s who they should go and get.”

Tottenham to sign Bowen over Lucas Paqueta

The Lilywhites have also been linked with a move for Paqueta in the past week, as his time at West Ham looks set to come to an abrupt end.

The Brazil international has been linked with various moves, including Spurs and his former side, Flamengo.

It appears that the Serie A outfit will win the race, but that shouldn’t discourage Frank and Co. from sweeping in and signing Bowen.

If Paqueta is to leave, it proves that David Sullivan is willing to do business for his best players, and that could be the perfect opportunity for a bid to be tabled from N17.
