West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen is set to join Aston Villa, according to talkSPORT presenter Andy Goldstein. The West Ham captain has been linked with an exit following their relegation to the Championship.
What happened?
Villa are one of the clubs keen on the Hammers star, and Goldstein insists he is on his way to the Midlands. “This will happen – I can’t tell you my sources, but this will happen,” he said.
Why it matters for West Ham United
The transfer is a huge blow for West Ham as they eye an instant return to the Premier League. As of 29 Jun 2026, West Ham United's league standing is 18th in Premier League, with 39 points from 38 games, and a recent form of WLLLW.
What comes next?
The 29-year-old bagged nine goals and 11 assists in 38 Premier League games last term. He has tallied 85 goals and 63 assists in 280 games for West Ham, and his versatility, quality and experience will hugely benefit Villa or any club he joins this summer. | Category | Stat | | League standing | 18th in Premier League | | Goals this season | 46 scored, 65 conceded (-19 goal difference) | | Title race | 46 points behind leaders Arsenal |
Bowen can play on both wings, as a number nine and in central midfield, and he has what it takes to become a better player and finisher under Villa manager Unai Emery.
