Aston Villa express strong interest in Jarrod Bowen, Amario Cozier-Duberry could replace West Ham star | OneFootball

Aston Villa are looking to sign West Ham United attacking midfielder Jarrod Bowen this summer, according to The Athletic.

West Ham are preparing for life without some of their key players following their relegation to the Championship.

VManager Unai Emery is a huge admirer of Bowen, but Villa have yet to open talks with the Hammers.

West Ham are not looking to sell their captain, but he could be sold for at least £50 million if he expressed a desire to do so.

Other suitors will be monitoring the situation, and the Hammers are preparing for life without Bowen if he leaves.

They are keen on Brighton & Hove Albion winger Amario Cozier-Duberry after his impressive loan spell with Bolton Wanderers last season.

He helped Bolton gain promotion to the Championship and was nominated for the League One player of the year award.

The 21-year-old is a long-standing target for West Ham, and a move could appeal to him.

He notched nine league goals and 13 assists last term and could be a perfect addition to the Hammers’ attack.

However, Brighton are hoping to hold on to him. He has two years remaining on his current contract, and they have held talks over an extension.

Holding on to Bowen and signing Cozier-Duberry would be huge for West Ham as they eye an instant return to the Premier League.
