Dyer stated: “He’s never going to do that, why would he? What’s in it for him?”

However, he does see the potential of him moving to Manchester City or Real Madrid as that’s the logical next step in his career.

Thus far, none of the clubs have made an approach to sign the Hammers captain ahead of the January transfer window.

What will Bowen do if West Ham get relegated?

Relegation opens all kinds of possibilities and fans will have to warm up to the idea that a number of their key players will leave.

It remains to be seen where Bowen’s head is at and whether or not he believes that West Ham can bounce straight back up.

He would turn 30 next season and would be aware that he only has a few years at the top level of senior football.

It is unlikely that one full season in England’s second tier would appeal to him.

While Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City or Real Madrid do not need him currently, they would be open to signing him in the summer as relegation would significantly bring down his valuation.

However, that is not what anyone at the club would be thinking about right now, as the priority is on making good signings in the January transfer window and staying in the Premier League for next season.
