Liverpool still monitoring West Ham star Jarrod Bowen
Liverpool are still closely monitoring West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen, according to a new report.
The Liverpool Echo claim that the Reds have added the 24-year-old to their shortlist, and they will continue to look at Bowen and watch his progress.
However, they claim that Jurgen Klopp’s side are unlikely to make a move for Bowen in January, which is good news for the Irons.
The Reds were linked with a move for the former Hull City player in the summer, and it appears as if they will make a move for him eventually [The Athletic].
Hammers to keep Bowen for a bit longer.
Klopp has publicly praised Bowen in the past, so it is no surprise to hear that the club like him [James Pearce].
However, it is good to hear that they won’t be attempting to sign him in January, and the Irons should be able to keep hold of Bowen until at least the summer.
It is no surprise to see Liverpool keeping a close eye on Bowen because he is performing very well in the Premier League.
He might not have returned a huge amount of end product yet, but his performances have been very good, and he is adding more and more end product to his game.
So, you would think that a move next summer could be a possibility, but by then, the Hammers could have sealed Champions League football.
Therefore, Liverpool not making a move in January could turn out to be a big mistake from their point of view.
