West Ham United are considering making a January bid for Jarrod Bowen as they look to see off competition from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, according to a report from The Sun.

Bowen has been outstanding for Hull City again this season. He has scored 15 goals in 23 games for the Tigers, with the large majority of his appearances coming with the 23-year-old deployed out on the right.

The Sun reports that Leicester and Spurs are following Bowen closely. Meanwhile, Championship promotion-chasers West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United are also interested.

But the Hammers are considering making a £15 million bid next month in an attempt to steal a march on their rivals.

The Sun suggests that Bowen is out of contract at the end of the season. But, as reported by the Hull Daily Mail, Hull have the option to extend his deal by another year.

It will be interesting therefore, to see whether West Ham making a £15 million bid tempts Hull into a sale. Hull are certainly in the play-off race right now. So it would be a big gamble to let Bowen leave.

That money would certainly allow them to strengthen other areas of the squad. And his value is only likely to drop as 2021 looms. But the fans will not be happy to see him sold next month.

The Tigers may be open to a sale in January. But perhaps, it should not surprise the likes of West Ham and Tottenham if offering £15 million is not enough.
