Jarrod Bowen has committed his immediate future to West Ham by signing a revised contract until 2030.
The 29-year-old was facing an uncertain future at the London Stadium following the Hammers’ relegation to the Championship.
A blockbuster move to Liverpool as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah had been touted.
Aston Villa had also been credited with interest in signing the forward, who scored 11 goals and 12 assists in 42 games across all competitions last season, despite West Ham’s struggles.
However, he was involved in the launch of West Ham’s new kit, while Bowen’s father-in-law Danny Dyer teased that he would instead snub Premier League interest to continue with the Irons this season.
talkSPORT understands the England international has agreed to amend the terms of his current deal to reflect the club’s 2026/27 Championship campaign.
The length of his contract remains the same, with four years left to run.
Bowen speaks on staying at West Ham
“The main motivation for me is staying and bringing this club back into the Premier League, where we belong,” he said in a video on X.
“There were always going to be rumours, there were always going to be different things going on, what’s going on, and I think for me it was only right to speak when the time’s right in circumstances like this.
“Ultimately it hurt everyone, and it should hurt everyone because it was such a disappointing thing that happened, but you can’t change it, you know, it doesn’t last forever.
“I flew out to Prague in the Czech Republic to meet Daniel [Křetínský] and Jiri [Švarc], go out and speak.

“The ambition that I got from Daniel and Jiri, certainly in terms of the direction the club wants to move in, it interests me a lot.
“It didn’t take a lot for me because this club means a lot to me. As I said, I did an interview after the game and said my vision is to get this club back in the Premier League.
“I’ve been here six and a half years and obviously transitioned from a boy really, from the Championship, into a man now, captain of the club, which is a huge honour.
“I’d seen myself in years to come as a die-hard West Ham fan, so I always think what would they want as a fan if they got the opportunity to play on the pitch?
“50,000 season ticket holders in the Championship is some feat, but I think it goes to show you the loyalty that they have for the club and the love that they have for the club.
“They want to see their club back in the Premier League, and we need everybody to be a part of that.”

“It’s about what we create as a group, what environment we want to create, because when things are ours, we have to put our arm around each other, look at our mate in the eye and know that we’re going to go again in three days’ time after a game.
“I think there’s going to be a different pressure on us now. The most important thing is a desire and attitude and a winning mentality.
“It’s good to be back here at Rush Green, ready to go.
“Pre-season has started, the games have started, the training has started, and we’re looking forward to the first game already.
“I feel like we’re moving in the right direction as a club.
“There’s a lot of thinking time over the summer and a lot of things that go in your head, but for me, I look in years and years to come of when I retire, what’s going to bring me the most happiness, and for me now it’s getting this club back into the Premier League.”

West Ham begin their season on August 8 with a Carabao Cup first-round clash against Portsmouth, which is live on talkSPORT.
The Hammers, who are back in the second tier of English football for the first time since the 2011/12 season, will then begin their Championship campaign away to Burnley over a week later.
