Jason Cundy has claimed he would like to see West Ham star Jarrod Bowen join Chelsea.
Bowen, 25, is a left-footed attacker that has seen his reputation skyrocket in the last couple of years.
The right-winger finished last season with an impressive 17 goals and 13 assists for West Ham across all competitions. He’s now earned four senior England caps, too.
Bowen’s currently preparing for the new season with the Hammers, but there’s been links this summer over a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge.
It was reported in June that Chelsea do have interest in the West Ham forward, who’s in line for a new contract at the London Stadium. However, there’s been no follow up concrete transfer links since the start of last month.
Cundy would like Bowen to join Chelsea
TalkSPORT pundit and Chelsea fan Cundy is a massive admirer of West Ham talisman Bowen.
“He’s been brilliant at West Ham. He’s also got a left foot which gives you another little dimension. His finishing is superb. He’s gone from strength to strength. I’m surprised there’s not been a bit more interest in him,” Cundy told talkSPORT.
Cundy was further asked if he would take Bowen at Chelsea.
His response: “I think he’s better than [Timo] Werner… Yeah I would actually. I don’t think they’re going to let him go for less than £50/60million.”
Another England international?
If serious Chelsea interest emerged in Bowen, it would mean pursuing the signature of another England international.
The Blues have already added to their ranks this summer Three Lions star Raheem Sterling, who completed a move from Manchester City this week.
In addition, Mason Mount, Reece James and Conor Gallagher are already Chelsea representatives in recent England camps.
Bowen, who Cundy thinks is worth at least £50million to West Ham, has already played with numerous Blues stars.
