Gonzo has been speaking on the Hammers Chat YouTube channel about how much David Moyes trusts Jarrod Bowen.
While a lot of players such as Pablo Fornals, Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio have enjoyed purple patches of great form in the Premier League this season, Bowen has managed to remain consistent all season, completing 90 minutes in all but five league matches and having also netted three goals and registered nine league assists.
Will Bowen leave in the summer?
Yes!
No!
His latest top performance was against Watford, which saw him set up Tomas Soucek for the Hammers’ first goal before winning a penalty for Mark Noble and then tee up Nikola Vlasic for his first Hammers goal.
Bowen has been an ever-present in the West Ham starting lineup this league campaign, and that is because Moyes knows what he will get from Bowen, according to Gonzo.
He said: “When David Moyes is selecting the team, I think he’s getting the same level of commitment when he’s putting him on the pitch each and every time.
“Now, whether that translates into goals and assists – that will vary. But David Moyes isn’t worrying or wondering what he’s going to get from Jarrod Bowen when he puts him onto the pitch.”
TIF Thoughts on Bowen…
At the time of his move to the London Stadium, it may have been seen as a risky and outlandish amount of money to splash out on a Championship player who had never played in the Premier League, but West Ham’s decision to sign Bowen for £20 million in January 2020 now looks to be a masterstroke.
Given how well Bowen has been performing this season, it should come as no surprise that Liverpool reportedly hold an interest in the winger, although according to the Liverpool Echo, the Reds had Bowen on a shortlist of targets over the summer, but with him under contract until 2025, West Ham should be confident of keeping him while they are still pushing for Europe.
