Newcastle United-linked Jarrod Bowen has indicated he has no intention of departing West Ham United following the club's drop to the Sky Bet Championship. The Hammers required a win against Leeds United and for Tottenham Hotspur to fall at home to Everton in order to preserve their top-flight status and send Spurs down in their place.
Although Nuno Espirito Santo's side fulfilled their obligations with second-half strikes from Taty Castellanos, Bowen and Callum Wilson, Spurs, who had gone the entirety of this year without a home league victory, defeated Everton 1-0 to secure their own place in the Premier League next season.
United are amongst several Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing Bowen, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool also credited with interest.

But Bowen was adamant following the match at the London Stadium that he has no desire to leave the Hammers this summer.
"Ultimately, this season we haven't been good enough and we've paid the price," he told Sky Sports.
"I'm under contract here. I've been here six and a half years. I've had some really high moments and this is a low moment that will outweigh everything.
"There's going to be rumours, there's going to be talk. Ultimately, what I see is getting this club back in the Premier League because that is where it deserves to be.
"This is a really, really low moment, but we have to bounce back because there's no other way. This is a really difficult moment.
"You never know what the future holds. For me, I want to get this club back in the Premier League. Right now our vision is to do that."
Bowen has been left out of the England World Cup squad, and will not take time to reflect on the season.
"We have to go away now, not enjoy our time off because you're never going to enjoy your time off with the season we've had, but stay with your family and loved ones, recover well and prepare well for when we come back in and get promoted," he added.
"Coming into the game, we had to take care of ourselves and hold onto that bit of hope that we had. That's all we could do. We were relying on another result. Ultimately, it's not enough.
"I just feel hurt. I've been here six and a half years now. Had a lot of good moments and this outweighs all of it. Getting this club relegated... it hurts.
"We shouldn't be in the position we're in but we've found ourselves in it and we've not done enough to stay up. Hurt is the only thing."
