The Hammers have struggled to find consistency this season and have flirted with relegation all season.
That has put the futures of some of their key players in doubt, as clubs feel they have an opportunity to steal key players from the Hammers.
The chances of relegation this season are huge, but even if they remain in the Premier League, Keith Wyness believes Bowen and Summerville will leave the club for a new challenge elsewhere.
West Ham United has been warned
Former Everton CEO Wyness believes the Hammers will be active in the summer transfer window to make major changes to the squad.
He told it Inside Track podcast from Football Insider: “I think there was talk of Bowen and Summerville moving on back in January, and I’m pretty sure they’ll leave in the summer as well.
“So West Ham will be a very active club in terms of restructuring the squad, regardless of what division they are in. And I would also add that West Ham has never really done a good job of having a stable, established position and group as sporting directors in that.
“It seems like there’s always been friction with managers and that’s never quite worked out. And that’s now coming to light when it comes to the side’s performance at the moment. And again, will that mean they’ll have a really coherent strategy for the summer?
“It’s a club that’s in deep trouble at the moment, and some deep-rooted problems that are going straight to the top. So let’s see where they go from here with this relegation battle, but certainly, financially, and I think football-wise there are some big question marks and big red lights flashing at the moment.”
Bowen and Summerville face an uncertain future
Bowen is West Ham’s talisman and captain and easily their most consistent performer. He is tied to a long-term contract until 2030, which protects his value.
However, as an established England international, playing championship football is simply out of the question.
Aston Villa have reportedly started inquiring about his availability for the summer window.
If West Ham manage to stay afloat, they will demand an astronomical, “hands-off” fee to even consider letting him go. However, if the club is relegated, a huge transfer crisis is expected.
Summerville were in good form in the second half of the 2025/26 season, scoring crucial goals and carrying much of West Ham’s attacking threat alongside Bowen. This purple spot has obviously put him on the radar of several top clubs across Europe.
But if relegation happens, Summerville, like Bowen, will be among the first to help plug the financial holes that come with the loss of a division.
