Marco Silva knows Jarrod Bowen well from his time at Hull City and reportedly wants a reunion at Premier League side Everton.
Everton have seemingly been keeping tabs on Jarrod Bowen for three years, but is this finally the window when the Toffees get their man?
The Hereford Times reported in 2015 that Everton were eyeing up the promising forward who, at the time, had not even made his mark on Hull City’s first-team. These days, Bowen is the undisputed star man at the KCom Stadium and his recent form appears to have encouraged Everton to make another move.
The Sun is reporting that Everton are preparing a £12 million bid for the 21-year-old. Bowen netted 15 times in the Championship last season and deservedly won Hull’s Player of the Year award. And, thanks to Marco Silva, a move to Goodison Park now looks more likely than ever.
It was Silva who handed Bowen his Premier League debut during his short time in charge of the Tigers in the second half of the 2016/17 season, after all. So it will be interesting to see whether the ex-Hereford prospect is interested in reuniting with his former boss this summer.
The Sun adds that Hull are desperate to hold on to Bowen but he is keen on a return to the Premier League. Hull are in a strong position, however, given that the versatile forward has two years left on his current contract.
But with money tight on Humberside, Everton could make them an offer they cannot refuse.
