Article continues under the video<\/center> <\/p>\nThe England forward, who was omitted from Thomas Tuchel\u2019s World Cup squad, has been heavily linked with a summer transfer in recent months, but he is now expected to stay at the London Stadium in the Championship.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool are all known admirers of Bowen, however rumours of a summer switch have died down over the past few weeks and with the Championship season set to start in less than one month, it seems as though the 29-year-old is running out of time to leave West Ham.<\/p>\n
In fact, Dyer, who is Bowen\u2019s father-in-law, has admitted that he is unlikely to leave West Ham this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s a very great, loyal man,\u201d Dyer told talkSPORT<\/b> when asked about Bowen\u2019s future at West Ham.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst and foremost, he is my family, the father of my grandchildren, of course. It’s been tough for him. He does deserve Champions League football and whatever decision he makes, or made, I would have supported him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t think he’s going anywhere, and I think he will rip up the Championship, don’t you worry yourself about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bowen scored nine goals and provided 11 assists in 38 Premier League appearances for West Ham last season, and with his current contract not due to expire until 2030, he looks destined to remain at the club as they look to secure an immediate promotion back to the English top flight.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 IMAGO – Jarrod Bowen, West Ham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nJarrod Bowen unlikely to join Chelsea<\/h2>\n With Bowen set to stay at West Ham instead of completing a summer move to Chelsea, the Blues will be required to sign an alternative target amid their pursuit of a new attacker before the start of next season.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa superstar Morgan Rogers is considered to be their top target, but Arsenal are currently the frontrunners to secure his signature and his price tag is regarded as too steep by the Chelsea hierarchy.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi has also been linked with a Stamford Bridge switch, however he is wanted by a plethora of top clubs across Europe and there is little indication that a sale will be permitted before Deadline Day.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a move for Bradley Barcola seems unlikely, despite the fact that Paris Saint-Germain want to sign both Yan Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche this summer.<\/p>\n
