Liverpool transfer news amid Mo Salah uncertainty as stance on West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen emerges
Liverpool have admired and watched West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen for many years as he’s been among the names mentioned to replace Mo Salah, according to the Athletic.
The news outlet highlighted the similarities between the two players as the Egypt international continues to be linked with a move away from Anfield.
Saudi Arabian sides showed an interest in him and made a Premier League record-shattering offer, but he stayed on Merseyside.
Big money needed
Surely if Liverpool come knocking on Bowen’s door, he’s going to find it extremely hard to turn down a move to Anfield.
They can offer him Champions League football in most seasons and the chance to compete for top honours every year.
However, if Salah leaves for Saudi, he’s going to go for big money and that means they can afford to pay up for Bowen.
As seen with Declan Rice, West Ham do not let their star players leave on the cheap and Bowen, along with Lucas Paqueta is one of the biggest assets at the club.
Right now, the Hammers will not be worried about that as it’s unlikely Salah will leave in January but this could come up next summer.
Mohammed Kudus appears to be a solid option on the right flank and perhaps that money got from Bowen’s sale can be spent on a new striker.
In other West Ham news, an ultimate transfer decision has been made by the Hammers on Jesse Lingard amid a recent development.
