Danny Dyer: Jarrod Bowen to stay at West Ham despite Premier League interest
Actor Danny Dyer has revealed that his son-in-law Jarrod Bowen intends to stay at West Ham following the club's relegation to the Championship.
Actor and lifelong West Ham supporter Danny Dyer has provided a major update on the future of his son-in-law, Jarrod Bowen. The Hammers captain has been the subject of intense transfer speculation since the club's 14-year stay in the top flight came to an end.
Speaking at a charity event, Dyer indicated that the 29-year-old is not planning to force an exit from east London. "He's a very great, loyal man," Dyer said. "First and foremost, he is my family, the father of my grandchildren, of course. It's been tough for him. I don't think he's going anywhere, and I think he will rip up the Championship, don't you worry yourself about that."
The update will come as a blow to several Premier League clubs monitoring Bowen’s situation. The England international had been linked with Liverpool as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, while Aston Villa and Everton were also credited with strong interest.
Despite the lure of top-flight football, Bowen's commitment to the Hammers appears absolute. He is under contract until 2030 and has already featured in promotional material for the club's new home kit. The board, led by Daniel Kretinsky, views keeping Bowen as vital for dressing room morale during this transition.
For the West Ham faithful, the prospect of Bowen leading the line against Championship opposition provides a glimmer of hope after a difficult 2025-26 campaign. The team is scheduled to begin their season on August 8 in the Carabao Cup against Portsmouth.
