REPORT: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR HAS SIGNED MANCHESTER CITY TARGET £95,000-A-WEEK WEST HAM FORWARD
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are now being linked with West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen.
According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur have West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen on their radar.
Spurs are looking at the £65,000-a-week (The Times) star as a potential alternative to Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes.
The report has claimed that Bowen is on Tottenham’s “list of homegrown targets”, but Spurs accept that London and Premier League rivals West Ham will not sell him because they are about to let go of Declan Rice in the summer of 2023.
The Athletic have added that the 26-year-old, who can operate as a winger, forward or attacking midfielder,”has been on Spurs’ radar for several years”.
Could Tottenham Hotspur sign Jarrod Bowen from West Ham United?
In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur will be unable to sign Jarrod Bowen from London and Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
Yes, of course, money talks, but once the Hammers have cashed in on Rice, they will not need to sell any of their players if they do not want to.
Bowen is an important player in manager David Moyes’s team, and the Hammers will know that it will not be easy to find a suitable replacement for the former Hull City star.
The England international attacker made 36 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for West Ham last season.
Bowen scored six goals and gave five assists in those games.
The West Ham no. 20 also scored three goals in seven UEFA Europa Conference League appearances last season, as the Hammers won the competition.
Tottenham in ‘ongoing talks’ to sign £10m star at Hotspur Way

Journalist Rudy Galetti has told GIVEMESPORT that Tottenham Hotspur are currently pursuing a deal for Clement Lenglet on a permanent basis.
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in talks with FC Barcelona over the potential signing of Clement Lenglet, journalist Rudy Galetti has told GIVEMESPORT.
The French defender spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan at the North London club, who are interested in bringing him back to Hotspur Way on a permanent basis for a fee of approximately £10 million.
Tottenham Hotspur latest news – Clement Lenglet
Lenglet enjoyed a somewhat successful loan spell with Spurs, making a total of 35 appearances across all competitions for the club, as per Transfermarkt.
His early performances impressed Tottenham’s former manager Antonio Conte, who, speaking after Lenglet’s debut, said: “I’m happy for Lenglet, for Clement, because he came in with personality. We need a player to play, to play with personality, to have the quality to play football, also to attack. It was positive.”
His loan move was by no means a complete success, after all he was part of a Spurs squad that missed out on European football entirely ahead of next season, but nevertheless, the club are interested in signing him on a permanent basis.
What has Rudy Galetti said about Clement Lenglet and Tottenham?
Galetti revealed that after his initial loan spell at the club, Tottenham would be willing to spend approximately £10 million to re-sign the 28-year-old.
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Galetti said: “Talks are ongoing between Tottenham and Barcelona for Clement Lenglet. The Spurs after his experience on loan would spend around £10 million to sign again the centre back but in this case on a permanent deal.”
Why do Tottenham want to re-sign Clement Lenglet?
With Spurs announcing the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach, a new brand of football will be brought to Hotspur way. The Australian adopts an attacking style of play which requires his two centre-backs to be incredibly comfortable in possession.
Lenglet, whose current contract at Barcelona is £145,000-a-week, as per Spotrac, therefore, represents an excellent option as a left-sided centre-half in a Postecoglou team. During the 2022/23 campaign, the Frenchman recorded an impressive 79% pass accuracy in the opposition’s half, with an overall passing accuracy of 87%, as per Sofascore.
His expected cut-rate fee, which Galetti believes to be around the £10 million mark, would also allow Spurs to allocate additional funds to other potential summer signings.
Lenglet’s combination of passing ability, suitability to an attack-minded style of play and a cheap price tag would make him a very shrewd signing if Daniel Levy were able to get the deal over the line.
