GOOD NEWS: “There is a belief” Newcastle United finally receive clear verdict over BIG money Deal.
West Ham’s financial plans were disrupted when Lucas Paqueta, a former Newcastle target, faced official charges from the FA for illegal betting. This situation prevented a potential £85m transfer to Manchester City.
Newcastle United, despite being the world’s wealthiest club, faces strict PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) restrictions. West Ham’s inability to sell Paqueta has hindered their transfer plans, leading to speculation about the potential sale of other valuable players like Mohammed Kudus, Edson Alvarez, or top scorer Jarrod Bowen.
Earlier reports suggested Newcastle was confident in signing Bowen this summer, with Eddie Howe considering him a priority target for the right-attacking position. It was rumored that Newcastle’s Saudi owners would make a substantial offer to West Ham late in the transfer window.
However, recent developments indicate Bowen is likely to stay at West Ham. He proposed to his girlfriend Dani Dyer during their summer vacation, and the couple has purchased a £3m mansion near West Ham’s training ground. This luxurious seven-bedroom property in Emerson Park features a swimming pool and gated driveway.
Bowen’s commitment to West Ham is further evidenced by his seven-year contract extension signed last season. He has expressed his desire to spend the rest of his career with the club, citing West Ham’s role in his development and success, including his international career and scoring the winning goal in a European final.
These actions strongly suggest that Bowen is setting down roots at West Ham, making a move to Newcastle or any other club unlikely in the near future.
