West Ham have held a meeting with Jarrod Bowen regarding his future at the club, and this is the decision they have made on him.

West Ham United have already held internal discussions with Jarrod Bowen as they attempt to convince their club captain to remain at the club following relegation to the Championship.

The Hammers are determined to keep hold of their skipper, who has been a central figure in recent seasons, and are prepared to offer him terms that match his Premier League wages despite their drop into the second tier.

It is understood that club officials have made clear their desire to build the next phase of the project around Bowen, viewing him as a leader both on and off the pitch at a time when the squad faces uncertainty and a potential rebuild in the Championship next season.

Bowen, who has been instrumental for the club since arriving, is believed to be open to discussions, although any decision is expected to depend on how quickly West Ham can stabilise after their relegation and outline a clear plan for immediate promotion back to the Premier League.

Further meetings are expected in the coming days as the hierarchy attempt to reassure supporters that key players will remain part of the club’s long-term vision despite the setback of relegation.

Discussions are set to continue with Bowen’s representatives as West Ham look to secure his commitment for the campaign ahead as talks progress further.
