West Ham United ace Jarrod Bowen set to stay as Liverpool drop out of race
West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen will “almost certainly” be staying at the London Stadium for the 2022/23 campaign, according to Claret & Hugh.
The winger had an excellent 2021/22 season for the Hammers, notching 31 goal involvements in all competitions – the highest of any player in the squad.
As David Moyes looks to strengthen his squad as the Irons compete in Europe for the second consecutive season, the Scot will be delighted that one of his most important players is staying.
The news comes after Liverpool confirmed the signing of former Benfica forward Darwin Nunez with Sadio Mane set to leave Anfield.
Having spent an initial fee of £64million for the centre-forward, the Reds will not be pursuing the £100million-rated England international.
Despite being confident that Bowen will stay in east London beyond next term, they would love to tie him down to a new contract with his current deal running out in 2025.
Boost.
It comes as no surprise that Jurgen Klopp’s side won’t be in for the Englishman this summer.
They rarely spend big and they have bought Luis Diaz and Nunez in the last two windows.
The news comes as a huge boost for West Ham who will desperate to keep hold of their key players – Bowen and Declan Rice in particular.
It shows you just how far the former Hull City ace has come that he is being held to the same importance as his 23-year-old England colleague.
The pair are undoubtedly the two best players at the club and if Moyes can build a squad around them, a very promising future could be on the horizon.
Unfortunately, that is far from a certainty though with massive interest in both that will most likely pick up again after the 2022 World Cup ahead of the January transfer window.
