As per Mundo Deportivo, West Ham United are gearing up for the summer transfer window as news emerges on Udinese star Gerard Deulofeu and the Irons' own winger Jarrod Bowen.

The Lowdown: Bowen shines for West Ham...

Before his recent injury, West Ham's star attacker and contender for their 2021/22 player of the season was seriously turning heads with an array of brilliant performances.

Called 'really important' by David Moyes, the 25-year-old ranks among the best attacking players in the Premier League, with calls also made for him to be given an England nod.

Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate will be handed food for thought by Bowen's form over 2021/22 as clubs also circle for his signature.

Sharing an update on both the winger and West Ham transfer target Deulofeu, Mundo Deportivo share some interesting news.

The Latest: Moyes green-lights transfer target Deulofeu...

According to the Spanish news site, Hammers boss David Moyes has personally set his sights on the ex-Watford and Everton forward as a possible replacement for Bowen.

Indeed, the report stated that 'everything points' toward the latter's summer exit as West Ham draw up a list of candidates to succeed him.

Deulofeu, who has been brilliant for Udinese this year, is now on that shortlist, having been given Moyes' seal of approval.

The Verdict: Right man?

Once called 'unstoppable' for his form at Goodison Park by former Everton left-back Michael Ball (Twitter), we believe that Deulofeu could be an astute heir to Bowen if the West Ham star does exit east London this year.

As per WhoScored, before Udinese's clash with Roma today, the 28-year-old has averaged a similar, sometimes better, rate of shots at goal, key passes and completed dribbles per 90 when compared to Bowen.

West Ham are further boosted by reports that they could sign Deulofeu for just €20m (£17m), a fairly affordable fee for someone in their prime and in fine form.
