Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with Hull City’s Jarrod Bowen.
Hull City forward Jarrod Bowen has told The Sun that he thinks interest from Tottenham Hotspur is ‘surreal’ – and admitted that he first heard about the rumour on TV.
Hull signed Bowen from Hereford United in 2014, and he become a star in the Championship last season with 14 league goals in 42 games.
The 22-year-old wide man has been even better this season, grabbing 13 goals and three assists in just 28 Championship games.
Unsurprisingly, Bowen’s displays have attracted huge interest, and Tottenham Hotspur have been strongly linked with a move for the winger.
The Sun claim that Spurs are prepared to pay £15million for Bowen, which is £5million short of the £20million asking price on his head.
As a young, English forward contributing goals and assists in the Championship, it’s no great surprise that Hull are demanding big money for Bowen.
Now, the youngster has commented on the speculation, admitting that being linked with a move to Spurs is ‘surreal’ given that they’re a top Premier League team and play in the Champions League.
Bowen revealed that he first heard of Tottenham’s interest on TV, but reaffirmed his commitment to Hull by saying that he wants to win promotion with the Tigers.
“It’s surreal when you see your name linked with clubs like Tottenham in the transfer window. I saw that first on TV,” said Bowen. “It means I’ve been doing something well. But my loyalties are to this club.”
“I’d like to look back at my career and want to have been playing at the highest level week in, week out. Everybody’s dream is to play in the Premier League — and if I do that for a good ten years, I’ll look back and say, ‘I did all I could’. I need to work hard to get there. We want to get this team to the Premier League,” he added.
