Jarrod Bowen has declared his intention to remain at West Ham following the club's relegation from the Premier League, committing to the challenge of winning promotion from the Championship.

The 29-year-old forward had attracted interest from several top-flight clubs, yet he made clear that his priority is helping West Ham return to the Premier League — where, in his own words, the club belongs.

"The main motivation for me is staying and bringing this club back into the Premier League where we belong," Bowen said.

Bowen's loyalty comes during a turbulent summer at the London Stadium. Midfielder Mateus Fernandes has already departed for Tottenham Hotspur in an £85 million deal, while winger Crysencio Summerville has attracted interest from Manchester United, among others.

Bowen joined West Ham from Hull City in a £22 million deal in January 2020 and signed a seven-year contract extension in October 2023, keeping him at the club until 2030. West Ham are preparing for their first Championship campaign since 2012.
