West Ham star Jarrod Bowen admits he could have been playing for another team if things had gone differently.

Bowen, a key figure with the Hammers in the Premier League and Conference League this season, has recalled how he missed out on a move to Newcastle United.

The winger, then with Hull, was set to make the move, but the deal did not go through because the club wouldn't pay £14 million for him back in 2020.

“So it was on Deadline Day, and I was just sat there doing nothing. I thought I was going to Newcastle because Steve Bruce was there," Bowen claimed on the Premier League's Behind The Game.

“I was even looking for houses and everything, I thought it was nailed on! Then they turned around and said: 'We won't pay the money'. So I thought: 'Ok, I'll stay at Hull then'.

"£14m with £6m in add-ons. One of them was an England call-up and I thought that'd never happen! So I go to training at Hull all normal, get there and the manager pulls me, saying: 'What are you doing here?'

“He said: 'We've accepted a bid from West Ham'. I didn't even know they were interested. I had my three hour medical in Leeds and then got the train to London."
