‘We need him’: David Moyes says £20m West Ham player is actually much better than fans may realise
West Ham United manager David Moyes has been full of credit for Jarrod Bowen following yesterday’s defeat to Liverpool.
Bowen was a better player than he is typically given credit for, according to Moyes, who said this in an interview with The Athletic.
Furthermore, according to Moyes, the winger is a key member of the team and is always developing.
Jarrod is much better than he would be given credit for, according to Moyes.
He is getting stronger and faster, and there are many things he is working on.
“We need him, just like we did at the end of the previous season, and he’s in good condition.
He has had a strong campaign debut.
Even though the home team ultimately won the game at Anfield, Bowen once more attracted the spotlight.
And in a summer in which West Ham lost Declan Rice, fans will imagine that Bowen’s Hammers future was never in doubt.
David Moyes seems very keen to express in this interview that Bowen’s long-term future does remain at West Ham.
Moyes thinks Bowen is still improving at West Ham
If Bowen had been a little concerned about the club’s future without Declan Rice when he originally left this summer, you might understand.
There is a compelling case to be made that the club is currently in a better position.
It is well known how effectively Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse have adapted to playing in the middle of the field.
Additionally, Moyes was able to pursue Mohammed Kudus’ additional talent and innovation thanks to the funding.
Under Moyes, West Ham players must be living exciting times, and Bowen’s performances certainly seem motivational.
The Athletic is also saying that West Ham and Bowen are now in contract negotiations once more.
An issue the club are increasingly keen to resolve.
And David Moyes may hope that his public backing of £20m Bowen will be crucial in getting a deal over the line.
