Welcome to another instalment of Last Word On Football’s round-up of the latest EFL transfer rumours. In this edition, we’ll look at another potential Premier League destination for Jarrod Bowen and whether Matty Cash is still on Everton’s radar.
Latest EFL Transfer Rumours
Newcastle in for Jarrod Bowen
Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United are the latest side to express an interest in Hull City winger Jarrod Bowen. Luke Edwards of the Telegraph reports that Bruce wants to make at least one signing in the upcoming January transfer window and Bowen is firmly in their sights.
Edwards’ report says that Bruce has money available to him if he wants it, despite previous reluctance to spend under Rafa Benitez. It’s said that he also aware players such as Henri Saivet and Jack Colback need to be moved on before anybody else can be brought in.
Bowen has scored 13 goals in 20 games from the wing for Hull this season. They currently sit 12th in the Championship table, just three points outside the play-off spots. Therefore, whether Hull want to sell at such an important time will remain to be seen.
Everton Appear to Drop Interest in Cash
Rhys Daly of the Express reports that Everton could entirely change their transfer plans following the sacking of Marco Silva. This means that Nottingham Forest talent Matty Cash may have to wait to get a desired Premier League move.
Everton were set to make an offer for Cash in January, but will now put the plans on hold until they know who will be taking over from Silva.
Hammers Want Randolph Return
West Ham United reportedly want to re-sign former goalkeeper Darren Randolph from Middlesbrough.
Alex Grove of The 72 (via The Sun on Sunday) reports that the Hammers have grown tired of Roberto’s poor performances and want to sign another replacement.
Randolph played for West Ham between 2015 and 2017 but dropped down to the Championship along with Middlesbrough at the end of the 2016/17 season to get more playing time ahead of the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifiers.
