Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs tracking West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen ahead of the summer window, according to The Guardian. The report adds that West Ham look likely to be relegated and could need to generate around £100 million from player sales if that outcome is confirmed.
Bowen, 29, joined the Hammers from Hull City in 2020 and has contributed eight goals and 10 assists this season, The Guardian reports. Those figures, combined with his captaincy, are said to have attracted interest from several top Premier League sides.
Defensive targets are also emerging. Manchester United and Liverpool have shown interest in Juventus centre back Gleison Bremer, Gazzetta dello Sport reports, with the Brazil international said to have a contract through 2029 and openness to consider his future if Juve miss out on the Champions League. Gazzetta adds that Juventus’ previous €70 million asking price has reportedly fallen.
Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis is another player on Premier League radars, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United stepping up scouting operations, TEAMtalk reports. Tzolis, 24, is credited with 20 goals and 27 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions this season.
Barcelona’s proposed bid for Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni may depend on outgoing movements, Marca reports, saying Barca have been linked to a €70 million move but face doubts unless they clear defensive space. Marca also reports that Manchester City midfielder Rodri would welcome a switch to Real Madrid — which the outlet describes as preparing under new boss Jose Mourinho — and that Pep Guardiola’s departure from City could influence any transfer.
