Manchester United appears to be the leading contenders to sign Jarrod Bowen this summer, but a West Ham exit is not guaranteed.
The captain's nine league goals throughout the season were unable to prevent the club's 14-year stay in the Premier League ending on Sunday, as Tottenham instead held off their rivals to keep hold of their top-flight status.
West Ham are expected to sell a number of their first-team stars this summer as they deal with the financial hit of no longer being a Premier League club, and Bowen is one of their more valuable assets.
Crysencio Summerville, Mateus Fernandes and Konstantinos Mavropanos are also likely to be attracting suitors, but Bowen has already strongly hinted at his desire to stay.
"I'm under contract here. I’ve been here six and a half years. I’ve had some really high moments and this is a low moment that will outweigh everything.
"There's going to be rumours, there’s going to be talk. Ultimately, what I see is getting this club back in the Premier League because that is where it deserves to be.
"This is a really, really low moment, but we have to bounce back because there’s no other way. This is a really difficult moment.
"You never know what the future holds. For me, I want to get this club back in the Premier League. Right now our vision is to do that."
According to the latest betting odds, via Betfair, Bowen remains most likely to be a West Ham player when the summer transfer window shuts.
But Man Utd are leading the pack of potential suitors, just ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa. Newcastle are considered slight outsiders, while Tottenham are a longer shot.
