Report: Spurs eyeing move for 13-goal winger from Premier League rival as Harvey Barnes alternative
The Athletic have revealed that West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen is on Tottenham’s radar with the North London club looking for options to strengthen in wide areas of the pitch this summer.
Leicester City’s Harvey Barnes has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham over recent weeks, with some outlets even suggesting that Spurs may had a combined £50m offer for the winger and James Maddison turned down by the Foxes (Guardian).
The Daily Mail reported a few days ago that while Maddison could leave the King Power Stadium over the coming weeks, Barnes’ future might not be sorted out until later in the transfer window.

Tottenham are interested in Jarrod Bowen
If The Athletic’s latest update is to believed, Spurs have now identified Bowen as an alternative for the Foxes winger.
The report reveals that the 26-year-old, who scored 13 goals and provided eight assists across all competitions in 2022-23, has been on Tottenham’s radar for ‘several years’.
The Independent reported back in 2019 that Bowen was a deadline day target for Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham while he was playing for Championship outfit Hull City, however, a move failed to materialise and West Ham signed him a year later in a £20m-plus deal (BBC).
However, the publication adds that there is an acceptance at Spurs that the Hammers will not sell Bowen this summer, especially given that Declan Rice is expected to leave the London Stadium with Manchester City and Arsenal both battling for the England international (Sky Sports).
Spurs Web Opinion
Even if West Ham were willing to consider offers for Bowen, they would probably want upwards of £60m for the winger.
They are also unlikely to consider selling the winger to Tottenham as the Hammers hierarchy will know that such as sale would not go down well with their fans.
