West Ham United favourite Jarrod Bowen ‘ready to take big leap forward’ in career amid Liverpool links
Jarrod Bowen is “ready to take a big leap forward” at West Ham amid recent links with a move away from the London Stadium, according to journalist Paul Brown.
The former Daily Mail reporter claimed via GIVEMESPORT on 23 September that Liverpool would continue to monitor Bowen, who may be tempted by a future switch.
Brown has now hailed the way the England international has improved his game at West Ham by becoming a more prolific attacker.
Asked if Bowen is enjoying his most productive period for the club, Brown told GIVEMESPORT [3 September]: “That’s a hard one because he’s played some pretty good football for West Ham for quite a long time now.
“The spell he had just before he got into the England team for the first time was pretty good.
“Now he looks like someone who is more ready to take a big leap forward. I think he has shown that he doesn’t need lots of chances in a game to be decisive. If something comes his way, you’re pretty confident he is going to tuck it away.
“You might get one chance in the game and, if it falls to him, I think most people would be expecting him to score. He has certainly improved in that way, I think.”
Among the best
Bowen has once again been in great form for West Ham this season and will inevitably be linked with a move away.
The former Hull City player has six direct goal involvements in the Premier League this campaign, which only Ollie Watkins, Mohamed Salah (both seven) and Erling Haaland (nine) can better.
That tally is made up of five goals of his own and one assist, helping the Hammers to 13 points from their first seven matches.
While a move to a side like Liverpool may be tempting in the long term, Bowen has everything he could possibly want in East London right now, both on and off the field.
As long as West Ham are still playing European football and battling it out in the higher reaches of the Premier League, fan favourite Bowen will surely be more than content where he is.
And amid recent suggestions of a new deal possibly being offered to the Europa Conference League final hero, he may soon have an opportunity to kill off those rumours entirely.
