Newcastle United continue to be linked with some of the best players in the Premier League and beyond.
Despite the transfer window shutting at the start of last month, attentions are already turning to the January transfer window.
Indeed, the likes of Pedro Neto, Emile Smith Rowe and Ivan Toney have been touted as Newcastle targets – and that’s just from within the Premier League.
Further abroad, Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Valencia’s Javi Guerra have been linked.
Certainly, there have been a lot of names to have emerged across the radar. Interestingly, one of those is West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.
The 26-year-old, hailed as “unbelievable” by Jurgen Klopp, had been touted as a target for future windows last month.
Bowen, however, has since signed a new contract with the Hammers and moved to rule out any future move.
Jarrod Bowen says he never wants to leave West Ham
Indeed, after putting pen to paper on an extension that keeps him in east London until 2030, Bowen confirmed he never wants to leave the club.
“The club gave me the opportunity when no one else wanted to,” he said in a statement posted by West Ham on X.
“It’s only fair that I repay that faith. I want to stay here and I want to stay here for the rest of my career.”
Bowen could have already been a Newcastle player
The player himself has already admitted he thought a move to Newcastle was on the cards in 2020.
He was even looking for houses in the area, with Steve Bruce keen on a move after initially being interested in the previous summer.
Still, Newcastle then opted not to make a move for the then-Hull forward, allowing West Ham to step in and complete a deal.
A real shame for the club given his form since. Now, it seems a potential deal is off the cards entirely.
