In today's West Ham United transfer rumours roundup, Jarrod Bowen has been linked with a surprise move to Crystal Palace. Also, Brentford are still pushing to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf, and Edson Alvarez could be on his way to Olympiacos.
Jarrod Bowen linked with Crystal Palace
Despite committing to West Ham United for this season in the Championship, Jarrod Bowen is still being linked with a move away from the club.
According to The Sun, "Crystal Palace are preparing to launch an audacious £50million bid to lure Jarrod Bowen back to the Premier League."
If Bowen were to go back on his word, West Ham fans would be furious. It would be similar to when Fabian Delph said he was going to stay at Aston Villa before transferring to Manchester City in 2015.
Bowen will be frustrated that West Ham's start to life in the Championship has been so poor. He will no doubt be second-guessing whether he has made the right decision to stay at the Hammers.
Brentford is still targeting El Hadji Malick Diouf
El Hadji Malick Diouf was left out of the West Ham squad that lost to Charlton Athletic at the weekend. This is a sign that his time at the London Stadium could be coming to an end.
Football Insider has reported, "Brentford are preparing to place an improved £37million bid for West Ham United defender El Hadji Malick Diouf."
The Bees have already had three offers rejected for Diouf. They had a great start to their Premier League campaign, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-0. The left-back would want to be a part of games like that rather than what is looking like a tough season in the Championship.
At 21, Diouf would be a younger option for Rico Henry at Brentford. Diouf has also been linked with Aston Villa and FC Porto this transfer window.
Edson Alvarez could be on his way to Olympiacos
It looked as if Edson Alvarez could be staying at West Ham this season after he played in the EFL Cup victory over Portsmouth. However, speculation about his future has grown since.
Alvarez has not featured in the two Championship games since the Pompey game. There was talk of a move to Real Sociedad, but a move to Greece could come about instead.
According to Sport24 (translated from Greek), "West Ham have reportedly already reached an agreement in principle with Real Sociedad for his transfer. However, Olympiacos have made a strong bid for Alvarez, having held positive discussions with the player's side, which gives them significant hope of completing the great deal."
The Mexican international spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce in Turkey. Therefore, a move to Olympiacos would be a move to a club of a similar profile. However, joining Sociedad would give Alvarez the chance to play in La Liga, which is one of Europe's top five leagues.
