Liverpool are interested in signing West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen.
However, in order to fund any move for hi, the Anfield side may have to sell either Xherdan Shaqiri Divock Origi – or potentially both.
Jurgen Klopp wants to boost his striking options, with a blunt attack, together with a leaky defence, the main reasons why they failed to mount a credible defence of their league title last season.
They are looking at a number of forwards who might add more firepower ahead of the coming season and Bowen is one of them.
The 24-year old was signed by West Ham from Hull City in January 2020, after impressing the East London club during an FA Cup tie between the two clubs. He has gone on to make 53 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions, scoring 9 times, usually playing in a wide right position where he cuts in-field on his left foot.
He is under contract at West Ham until 2025, and is valued at around £30 million.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
