Jarrod Bowen has been one of the Championship's bright stars for some time now.

The young attacker has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs in both the January transfer window and before the start of the current season.

Both Crystal Palace and Newcastle are said to have made moves to try and prise the 23-year-old away from the KCOM Stadium in January, but West Ham look to have won the race for his signature.

Bowen is set to seal his move before the 11pm deadline on Friday night, with all the kinks worked out of his move.

Here's what we know about the transfer.

Interest from other clubs

Crystal Palace and Newcastle made moves for the attacker - but Tottenham were the ones heavily linked with a deal for the young star back in the summer.

However, they instead opted to sign Jack Clarke from Leeds United, believing him to have more potential than Bowen. A loan move back to Leeds was sorted for the season, but a lack of playing time has seen his short-term deal at Elland Road cancelled, before a move to QPR instead.

Heading into deadline day, Palace were the most strongly linked side. A shock move for Roy Hodgson's side looked to be on the cards, but West Ham have instead won the race.

Newcastle pull out

Newcastle were also linked, but the Chronicle report that they have decided against a move because he would not significantly improve their attacking line for the money involved in the deal.

They did not believe that a player with a relatively short amount of time left on his contract and with no Premier League experience was worth the money Hull were seeking.

West Ham agree fee

The Hammers agreed a £22million fee for Bowen on Friday morning, but personal negotiations have held up a deal for much of the day.

football.london understand that the Hammers are still confident of agreeing a move, but with time ticking down it gets more and more difficult to breach an impasse.

Medical complete

A medical is said to have been completed, with Sky Sports reporting that Bowen was making his way from the club's training ground to the London Stadium to meet with David Moyes and put the finishing touches to a transfer.

Personal terms

Rumours have suggested that there are two current stumbling blocks in Bowen agreeing terms with West Ham, and they both relate to the Hammers' current precarious position in the table.

West Ham are said to have offered a deal worth around £80,000-per-week on a contract lasting four-and-a-half years.

The Guardian state that the Hammers were keen on inserting a clause which would mean a 50% pay cut for the attacker should the club be relegated, which Bowen is understandably not keen on agreeing to.

The Hull City star is said to have gone one step further, and asked for a relegation release clause to be added to the contract, meaning West Ham would have to accept offers over a certain amount should they fall into the Championship.
