According to a recent report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen has been targeted by Manchester United for the summer transfer window. It is believed that the Red Devils have set their sights on the in form Hammers attacker to strengthen their attacking department next season. The Hammers are currently on course for a top four finish in the Premier League and are aiming to win the UEFA Europa League with Jarrod Bowen being their best attacking outlet at the moment. Liverpool are also believed to be keeping tabs on the English winger and it remains to be seen who win the race to land Bowen in the summer transfer window.
Jarrod Bowen In Excellent Form At West Ham United
Jarrod Bowen joined West Ham United in January 2020 from Hull City and has successfully established himself as a key player at the club with his performances. The English winger had an instant impact on the team in his first season by scoring 1 goal and providing 4 assists in just 11 starts in the league. In his first full season with the Hammers, he made appearances in every Premier League game with starting in 30 of them and also contributed 8 goals and 5 assists showing his quality in the league.
This season he has been West Ham’s most improved player and has been in terrific form scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists in just 25 league games. 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. Jarrod Bowen has scored 9 goals in his last 13 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions making him one of the most consistent attacker in the league recently.
Can Moyes Afford To Lose Jarrod Bowen?
The English winger is such an important player in Moyes’ squad that he seems to be irreplaceable at the moment. He has proven himself both as a goal-scorer and a creator in this team keeping the Hammers in the top four place with his performances. The likes of Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals and Said Benrahma has also chipped in with good performances this season but are yet to show the consistency which Bowen has shown this season.
The departure of Bowen will surely be a huge blow to David Moyes next season if Manchester United or Liverpool come calling for him in the summer. The Hammers are believed to be asking for a hefty price for the winger and then jump into the market to replace him, a feat which will be incredibly tough.
