Jarrod Bowen, who is 26 years old, has become a crucial player under David Moyes since he joined West Ham from Hull City in 2020. He boasts an impressive record of 45 goals and 32 assists in 165 appearances across all competitions.
Last season, Bowen made significant contributions with 13 goals and eight assists in 54 games for West Ham. Notably, he scored the decisive goal in the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina in June. In the current season, he has already made a strong start, with five goals and one assist in his first seven Premier League appearances.
It's worth mentioning that Bowen even scored against Liverpool in a match at Anfield a few weeks ago, which has sparked speculation about a potential move to Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's manager, oversaw a significant midfield overhaul during the summer transfer window. However, there's belief that he is interested in bolstering both the attacking and defensive options in the upcoming transfer windows.
Football Insider reports that West Ham is actively working to keep Bowen on their roster, fending off interest from Liverpool and other potential suitors. They are currently engaged in discussions, as Bowen's existing contract with West Ham is set to expire in June 2025.
Following the significant sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal for £105 million during the summer, West Ham appears reluctant to part ways with another key player. Liverpool, on the other hand, could view Bowen as a potential long-term successor to their club legend, Mohamed Salah. Salah was heavily linked with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool reportedly rejected offers exceeding £150 million from Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad, emphasizing that Salah was not available for sale at any price.
