Jarrod Bowen shares the ‘random’ thing he’s desperate for at West Ham, Nuno Espirito Santo can deliver it
Jarrod Bowen has revealed he wants to win one trophy in particular for West Ham, which even people he knows didn’t expect to hear.
West Ham are turning their fortunes around under Nuno Espirito Santo, and their captain is at the heart of it.
Bowen has been a tremendous servant for West Ham and recently marked his 250th game for the Hammers with a win.
Liverpool are keen to sign Bowen as a long-term replacement for the ageing Mohamed Salah, which has caused concern for West Ham.
However, the right-winger can’t leave E20 satisfied until he gets his hands on one piece of silverware which his heart desires most.
Jarrod Bowen wants to win the FA Cup with West Ham
Bowen has already etched his name in West Ham history after scoring the iconic late winning goal against Fiorentina in the Hammers’ UEFA Conference League triumph back in 2023.
Despite all he’s done for the Irons and the big money-links away from the London Stadium, Bowen has admitted he still wants to win the FA Cup before leaving.
- Bowen has played 250 games for West Ham in both domestic and international competitions
- He has scored 77 times for the Irons
- Bowen has been with West Ham for over five years
In a new interview, Bowen claimed that his desire for an FA Cup has been called “random” by people he’s spoken to.
Bowen said, as quoted by Guardian Series: “Speaking to the lads at the start of the season, I said I’d love to win an FA Cup here in my time, which people always say is a bit random.
“Crystal Palace won it last year, and you saw their fans and the way they reacted to it.
“I think one thing I’d love to do, especially being captain now. lifting that trophy would be right up there with my proudest moments.”
Crystal Palace’s triumph last season shows that anything is possible if Nuno can carry West Ham’s current momentum into this year’s FA Cup.
Nuno has the tools to deliver FA Cup for Bowen and West Ham
Nottingham Forest made an identity for themselves with the help of Nuno last season, and they became incredibly consistent at displaying great team performances.
Palace came out of nowhere to win the FA Cup last season, and West Ham should believe in themselves, as Bowen clearly has hope.
West Ham had a terrible start to the season, and despite that, it’s still possible for the Irons to break a 45-year wait for another FA Cup trophy.
| West Ham FA Cup triumphs | Dates |
| 3 | 1963 – Beat Preston North End 3‑2 1975 – Beat Fulham 2‑0 1980 – Beat Arsenal 1‑0 |
David Sullivan is expected to back Nuno in the January transfer window, and in doing so, West Ham could benefit right in time for the start of their FA Cup campaign.
Success cannot be ruled out yet this season.
