Tottenham are reportedly after the Hull attacker, who is in explosive form.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to pay as much as £15million for Hull City attacker Jarrod Bowen this month as he continues to shine for the Championship side – and ex-Tigers boss Phil Brown has backed a move when talking to Love Sport Radio.
The Sun claim Spurs are willing to go as high as the eight-figure fee, but Hull want £20million for Bowen who has been in sensational form for the second-tier side who are pushing for a play-off place under Nigel Adkins.
Bowen scored his 14th Championship goal of the season on Saturday in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. He has played every single one of Hull’s 28 Championship matches this season.
Former Hull manager has been impressed by the versatile attacker, and believes a move to Tottenham would be an excellent deal for all parties involved as we enter the final third of the January transfer window.
“He’s a precocious talent and he’s got an eye for goal,” Brown said. ” I’ve heard a lot of people talking about him and he’s got a great attitude. A lot of the boxes to go to the next level Jarrod certainly ticks.
“I would say he would be an welcome addition – and Spurs are a great example – to any Premier League squad.
“I didn’t think at this moment he was ready for the top six but certainly where Spurs are concerned they do their homework with regards to research on players so you have to say it [would] be a great decision for the player and for Tottenham.”
Spurs could be about to enter the January window for new additions, after losing Harry Kane to a long-term ankle injury and Son Heung-min to the Asian Cup.
The north Londoners have been linked with a whole host of Championship stars this season, including Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, Leeds United’s Jack Clarke and Blackburn Rovers’ Bradley Dack.
Bowen’s long-term future at Hull remains in doubt, with only 18 months remaining on his current contract.
