The Englishman has continued to be the bright spot at the London Stadium as the Hammers defeated Arsenal in a “shock” match on Thursday night, according to a national news agency that published an article on December 29.

With 13 goals and five assists so far this season, Bowen has already surpassed his previous season’s goal total. But as the standout player for West Ham continues to improve, it could be difficult to hold him.
If Bowen were to go the Hammers at the conclusion of the season or during the January transfer window, it would be extremely cruel for the team. But it would be tough to decline any bids that do come in given the mouthwatering prices being discussed for the winger-turned-striker.
Declan Rice, West Ham’s captain, left the team in the summer after Arsenal spent £105 million on the midfield player. Furthermore, the team has made wise investments, as seen by the early success of Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus.
But Bowen has more than justified David Moyes’s faith in him; he was an investment three seasons ago. In 182 games, the 27-year-old has accrued 53 goals and 36 assists; his most significant goal came against Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League championship game of the previous year.
Fans of the Hammers will start to become nervous at the prospect of another transfer window for the foreseeable future, since Lucas Paqueta is also said to be leaving. However, it is evident that Bowen adores the team, and it would take a really bold move to convince him to leave the Hammers.
With the Europa League championship and a spot in the Premier League top six in their sights, West Ham might soar to new heights if they can hang onto their finest players and continue to develop around them under Moyes.
