Chelsea eyeing surprise move for West Ham winger

Chelsea are weighing up a surprise move for West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Guardian.

The Blues are planning to bolster their wide attacking department, having seen the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens struggle in the last year.

Garnacho has been linked with a summer exit and reports claim that Bowen has been identified as a possible candidate to replace him this summer.

Bowen is primarily a right winger who can play upfront. He has occasionally featured from the left, which is where Chelsea plan to play him next term.

The Englishman is widely expected to leave the Hammers if they don't avoid relegation and reports claim that Chelsea could face competition for him.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also keen on landing the former Hull City graduate, who has made 21 goal contributions during the ongoing campaign.

Arsenal have also been linked with the versatile ace in the past.
