A highly regarded player at West Ham United is reportedly eager to depart the club following their dissatisfaction with the latest contract offer. In recent weeks, West Ham, led by David Moyes and the club’s board, have been striving to secure contract extensions for key senior and young players. Star winger Jarrod Bowen, who recently signed a contract extension until 2030, has committed his long-term future to the club.
Jarrod Bowen, who was reportedly attracting interest from clubs like Liverpool, extending his contract has been a significant positive for West Ham. David Moyes expressed his satisfaction with this development, acknowledging it as a brilliant piece of business.
While the club has successfully secured the future of young talents like Dan Rigge, discussions with midfielder Tomas Soucek regarding a contract extension have reportedly hit a standstill. There is speculation that Soucek could be sold in January if no progress is made in these talks.
Additionally, midfielders Pablo Fornals and Conor Coventry are likely to leave when their contracts expire next summer. As per reports from West Ham insider Claret & Hugh, young defender Ben Johnson can now be added to the list of players expected to depart in 2024. Despite his desire to stay, Johnson is apparently dissatisfied with West Ham’s latest contract offer and is considering leaving the club, alongside Coventry. He is expected to remain until the summer unless West Ham signs another full-back in January.
Ben Johnson, a 23-year-old who has started only one EFL Cup match this season, has been commended for his contributions in past seasons by former West Ham coach and ex-England international Stuart Pearce. Pearce spoke highly of Johnson’s professionalism, dedication, and development, emphasizing the positive impact he has made, especially as a product of the club’s academy.
