West Ham United’s star player Jarrod Bowen has been nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for January. The Hammers are currently 5th in the Premier League table and are looking to push for a top-four spot this season after narrowly missing out last season. David Moyes’ West Ham United have also reached the knockout phases of the Europa League and are aiming to go as far as possible in order to compete for a European trophy. Although 2 defeats in the last 2 league games have been a blow to the Hammers, it is believed that David Moyes will push his side to the limits to challenge for a top-four spot in the Premier League.
Jarrod Bowen A Key Player For West Ham United
Jarrod Bowen joined the Hammers in January 2020 from Hull City and has successfully made himself a key player at the club with his performances. He had an instant impact on the squad in his first season providing 1 goal and 4 assists in just 11 starts in the league. In his first full season with West Ham United, he made appearances in every Premier League game including 30 starts and contributed 8 goals and 5 assists showing his quality.
This season he has been West Ham’s most improved player and has already scored 6 goals and given 7 assists in just 22 league starts. The 25-year-old’s performances have attracted a lot of big clubs in the league as the Hammers desperately hope to keep hold of him. Bowen has enjoyed a great start to the new year scoring 3 times in 4 games and has therefore been shortlisted for the Premier League Player of the Month award for January.
How Crucial Jarrod Bowen’s Form Will Be For West Ham’s Top-Four Challenge?
Jarrod Bowen has been a decisive player for the Hammers this season and his performances have kept West Ham in the top-four race this season. His display against the top-six clubs have given the Hammers hope that they can fight for a European spot this season.
