# West Ham prepared to offer Bowen a lucrative contract

West Ham United are reportedly prepared to offer Jarrod Bowen a lucrative offer as they look to [pip Crystal Palace in the race](https://readwestham.com/2020/01/30/west-ham-keen-to-hijack-palaces-move-for-bowen/)for his signature.

According to claims from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/details-revealed-as-west-ham-gatecrash-jarrod-bowen-race-with-huge-bid-sources/), the Hammers are pressing ahead with their late pursuit of the Hull City star, with the club ready to table a deal worth £60,000 per week.

Bowen is, as per the report, wanted by Palace and Newcastle United, but West Ham have apparently lodged a ‘formal bid’ for the 23-year-old.

### Read West Ham’s verdict

We think that recruiting more firepower in the final third would be a good idea for West Ham in the closing stages of the transfer window.

Sebastien Haller has, in our opinion, been starved of service since [joining the club](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49017405), but his [goal tally of just six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sebastien-haller/leistungsdaten/spieler/181375) in the Premier League as we approach February flatters to deceive.

As such, strengthening the first-team squad’s depth in the final third could be a wise strategy, and we think Bowen could certainly provide David Moyes with some much-needed attacking inspiration.

The winger has already found the [back of the net on 16 occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdaten/spieler/314875) in the Championship this term, while he [plundered 22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdaten/spieler/314875/plus/0?saison=2018) in the second tier last season.

Bowen, as per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/details-revealed-as-west-ham-gatecrash-jarrod-bowen-race-with-huge-bid-sources/), sees his contract at the KCOM Stadium expire in the summer, and it now looks like a bidding war may ensue, with West Ham, Palace and Newcastle touted as potential destinations.

We believe that with such a lucrative offer worth £60,000 per week on the table, though, the 23-year-old could be tempted to the London Stadium, and it would be a statement of intent from the Hammers board at this stage of the window.
