- Jarrod Bowen is linked with Everton.
- Has scored 8 goals and 10 assists in a struggling West Ham side this season.
- The midfielder is expected to move after six-and-a-half years at West Ham.
Everton’s attack has shown improvement this season, but consistency remains an issue. Beto has nine Premier League goals, Thierno Barry has eight, but neither has fully convinced as a long‑term solution. If David Moyes’ side secure European football, or even if they aim to challenge for it consistently, adding proven quality in the final third is essential.
One name that fits the bill is West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen.
The 29‑year‑old has an uncertain future as the Irons battle for Premier League survival. West Ham currently sit in the relegation zone alongside the already‑relegated Burnley and Wolves with two games remaining.
Relegation would have huge financial repercussions and force the London club to sell their stars. Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton are all interested, and Bowen could be available for less than £60m.
Jarrod Bowen and Moyes connection
Bowen has been West Ham’s top scorer for four of the last five years and captain for the last two. This season, he has made 36 Premier League appearances (all starts), playing every minute. He has scored eight goals from an Expected Goals (xG) of 6.90 and provided ten assists from an Expected Assists (xA) of 5.05. His numbers despite West Ham struggling are some brilliant stats.
Everton boss David Moyes was in his second spell as West Ham manager when they signed Jarrod Bowen from Hull City for £22m in 2020. Under Moyes, Bowen hit double figures in all competitions in each of his five full Premier League seasons, including a 20‑goal haul in 2023/24. He also netted a last‑minute winner against Fiorentina in the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League final which was the first major trophy of Moyes’ managerial career.
Bowen’s admiration for Moyes and Everton
Bowen has previously spoken highly of his former manager. “We all know how good a manager David Moyes is, and how good Alan Irvine and Billy McKinlay are as his assistants, and he gets the best out of his players. I’m certainly not surprised they’ve done so well.”
He also praised Everton’s style under Moyes. “Everton under David Moyes are a great example of how to thrive in the Premier League. They give everything in every game, regardless of opponent or venue, and that’s been rewarded by them being in the race for European qualification.”
Why Bowen makes sense for Everton
If West Ham are relegated, Bowen would be available. Even if they survive, his future is uncertain after six‑and‑a‑half years at the club. Everton can greatly improve their attack with Jarrod Bowen in the team.
Jarrod Bowen is a proven Premier League performer who knows Moyes’ system, works hard, and delivers goals and assists. With European football a possibility, Everton need squad depth and a player of Bowen’s quality would be a statement signing.
The reunion makes sense for all parties. Bowen would get a fresh start under a manager who trusts him. Everton would get a leader and a match‑winner. And Moyes would be reunited with the man who delivered his greatest trophy.
