Arsenal have approached West Ham for Jarrod Bowen.

According to CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs, the Gunners have now lodged a formal enquiry but as expected West Ham aren't willing to let him leave the London Stadium.

Jacobs told Give Me Sport: "With Bowen, West Ham's stance remains that they really don't want to sell, so there's a lot of clubs circling over Bowen, but the challenge, much like Declan Rice, is persuading West Ham to sell during this window and West Ham remain pretty intent not to let him go.

“So, there's lots of excitement about Bowen moving potentially to a club like Arsenal, but it's all hypothetical at the moment because West Ham don't want to sell. But Arsenal have definitely made an enquiry around Bowen to see what the situation is, but that's what they've been told."
