David Sullivan to cash in on Jarrod Bowen at West Ham, £150m far too tempting. West Ham United supporters are becoming more and more frustrated by owner David Sullivan.
For every one thing the 75-year-old does, he seems to do three things wrong in the eyes of the match-going fans, who pump their hard-earned money into the London Stadium. Sullivan was certainly lauded for opening his wallet during the summer transfer window, only to be absolutely slammed for his hiring of Julen Lopetegui over the last few weeks.
And now, he has the potential to upset the fanbase even further after Liverpool were linked with a move for superstar Jarrod Bowen to replace Mohamed Salah amid his ongoing contract saga at Anfield.
Roshane Thomas believes this is a plausible move should the Egyptian leave the Reds next summer, and if Arne Slot’s team decide to meet the asking price, it is difficult to see Sullivan turning a big deal down.
But how much could the Hammers receive for Bowen?
West Ham United to cash in on Jarrod Bowen?
According to HITC [25 June], Tottenham were interested in landing the winger’s signature during the summer transfer window, being informed that a £150million bid would be needed.
Of course, the Lilywhites were put off the move completely by this eye-watering number, but if Liverpool were to lose Salah ahead of next season, they may have no choice but to splash the cash.
Sullivan has already been hammered for his greediness this season, especially when it comes to the ticket prices at the London Stadium, so it remains to be seen where the owner draws the line. £150million could be too tempting not to cash in on, even if he is one of the most loved figures at the London Stadium.
While that kind of money could help the Hammers reinforce the squad in several areas during the summer, supporters would be in full meltdown mode if this decision was made.
