A lot of Newcastle United fans want their club to sign Jarrod Bowen after NUFC 360 tweeted about the Hull City star.
Bowen has become one of the Championship’s best players over the last few years and has scored goals from various positions.
Would you be pleased if Newcastle signed Bowen?
Yes, he deserves his chance in the Premier League
No, he is not proven at a higher level
These Toon fans would love to see the 22-year-old on Tyneside by the end of January.
With Bruce's ties to Hull, Jarrod Bowen's contract running out in June 2020 and the lads age and amount of goals, surely he's a risk worth taking now? He scores goals from all over. (See image) #NUFC pic.twitter.com/0ivUM5JJBc

He’s too good to come to us now, other clubs will be noticing him. We missed our chance imo.

Hull City friends say Bowen is a steal at £20m…

Would be a brilliant signing

If we got him I’d genuinely drop Almiron and use him as rotation

Other Newcastle supporters, though, believe he will extend his contract at Hull rather than go anywhere in January.
His contract is getting extended

They have an option to extend his contract though.

Hull will extend contract, no reason why they wouldn’t take option

What do we think?
Bowen is valued at £9m by Transfermarkt, but the Tigers apparently want over £20m for the winger.
Lee Charnley said in an interview earlier in the week that Steve Bruce was happy with his squad, but surely, he will want attacking reinforcements.
Newcastle’s front three, though, unpredictable and exciting, have only scored two goals between them, and the Toon could do with some goal threat.
Bowen with 53 goals in 121 games for Hull could provide that.
The 22-year-old has not played in the top-flight yet; however, he has consistently shown week in week out that he might be too good for the Championship.
His contract expires at the end of the season, though Hull have an option to extend it for a year.
This means that the Toon will have to pay good money for him, but surely he is worth the risk?
