Tottenham Hotspur made one of the best signings of the summer 2025 transfer window when they stole Mohammed Kudus from rivals West Ham United for less than expected, and now they could go for the swoops of Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville in summer 2026.
Spurs have already been linked with moves for Bowen and Summerville in the transfer rumor mill, but now there is a real opening that despite the Hammers best efforts, they may not be able to hold onto their best overall player and their best up-and-coming player.
According to a report from Gary Jacob of the Sunday Times Sport section, West Ham could be forced into selling Bowen, Summerville, and another crucial star in center back Jean-Clair Todibo if they are relegated at the end of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville could be easily available
The East London side recently announced losses of more than 104 million pounds, and that puts them in an even more tenuous position than derby rivals Spurs, who are also in the relegation battle. But despite beating Spurs head-to-head recently in January, West Ham are the ones currently occupying a relegation spot in the English top flight, sitting in 18th. Spurs are in 16th, just four points above the Hammers.
Now, Spurs need to work hard to ensure they stay above West Ham, but they did make moves to change their fortunes, firing Thomas Frank as manager and hiring specialist Igor Tudor to save them. There may be nothing saving West Ham if they keep this up, and they have less financially to fall back on than Spurs.
Tottenham cannot count their proverbial chickens, but at reduced prices, Bowen and even Summerville are attractive targets, though the buyer beware here is that if they got relegated with West Ham, they could get Spurs relegated, too.
But Bowen has been one of the best in the Premier League over the last few seasons and is a great goal-scoring right winger with the versatility to play pretty much any forward position. He's no Kudus in terms of skill and overall quality, but he's an even better goal-scorer and finisher with great athletic tools, too.
Tottenham should have designs on even better targets than Bowen and Summerville, but given how little proven depth they have at the forward positions, these guys are better than some of the players Spurs have been giving minutes to this season like former winger Brennan Johnson and the declining Richarlison.
