Graham Potter speaks out after bombshell Jarrod Bowen to Tottenham news
Graham Potter has made his feelings about Jarrod Bowen apparent in the wake of a Tottenham transfer update.
Spurs are in for a big summer transfer window, as they look to recover from what has been a disastrous season under Ange Postecoglou.
There is no doubt that Daniel Levy is going to be a busy man, with several players expected to ask to leave Tottenham, who are placed 16th in the Premier League.
On the flipside, the North London giants are guaranteed to make significant additions to their squad, and Bowen could be one of them.
Potter breaks silence amid Bowen to Tottenham news
Bowen is said to have grown concerned over West Ham’s form under Potter, leaving the door open for Tottenham to take advantage of the situation.
Spurs are keen to bolster their attack with the England international‘s addition, and are keeping tabs on his situation ahead of the summer.
Meanwhile, West Ham could be forced to cash in on top players like Bowen amid PSR concerns, having spent over £120million last summer.
With increasing doubts over Bowen’s future at the London Stadium, Potter was on the spot ahead of the Irons’ trip to Brighton on Saturday, 21 April.
“Even if I could answer that [whether West Ham have to cash in on Bowen], do you think I would answer that question?”, Potter told a press conference (24 April).

Although Potter initially remained coy on Bowen, he expressed his desire to keep the attacker in his squad upon being pressed further.
The English tactician also claimed that the left-footer has an ‘affinity’ towards the East London outfit, thus pouring cold water over any transfer talk for the time being.
“Look, of course, Jarrod [Bowen] is our captain. He’s fantastic, we want him to be here for the next 10 years.
“We want him to finish his career enjoying his football with us, achieving everything he wants as an individual and with a team that I think he’s got a real affinity towards.”
Bowen would be massive coup for Spurs
Bowen, who is contracted to West Ham until 2030, turned 28 in December, and this may not be the most ideal time to sign him.
However, there is no denying that he would be a massive coup for Tottenham, considering his contributions for the Hammers since joining them in 2020.
The Englishman has been a real shining light in what has been a disappointing season for Potter’s side.
