West Ham are close to a huge hat-trick of new deals for stars after a reporter’s update on Jarrod Bowen talks and another could follow.
They say keeping your best players is just as important as the signings you make and West Ham have certainly been busy on both fronts.
Declan Rice may not have wanted to sign a new deal at West Ham, but it seems other key stars see it as the place to be.
Earlier this month we reported on claims that Tomas Soucek has already signed a new secret four-year deal with West Ham which is yet to be announced.

West Ham close to huge hat-trick of new deals for stars after reporter’s update on Jarrod Bowen talks and another could follow
After losing Rice there has been talk Jarrod Bowen might be the next Hammers star to be targeted by so-called bigger clubs. And there have been rumours of interest from Liverpool for some time.
But West Ham are close to a huge hat-trick of new deals for stars after a reporter’s update on Bowen talks and another could follow.
Yesterday it was reported that Michail Antonio also secretly signed a contract extension which will see him end his career with the Hammers.
And now the club are closing in on the big one – extending Bowen’s contract.
That’s according to 90min’s Toby Cudworth and Graeme Bailey.

‘West Ham remain hopeful that Bowen will put pen to paper’
Bowen, who has less than two years to run on his current deal, has been in talks over a new contract for over 12 months.
And now 90min claims there is confidence West Ham and the player are close to reaching an agreement.
“Sources have confirmed to 90min that West Ham remain hopeful that Bowen will put pen to paper – his current contract at London Stadium has less than two years to run and expires in the summer of 2025,” the report states.
“West Ham would like to sort things out with Bowen sooner rather than later – avoiding a situation where he has just one year remaining on his deal – and an extension would reflect his status as one of the club’s most important players.”
That’s not all for the Hammers either.
Because another player, Vladimir Coufal, is also said to be in talks behind the scenes to extend his own deal with the club.
