Liverpool were put to the sword by a brilliant West Ham side on Sunday. The Hammers won 3-2 against the former Premier League champions to flex their own top-four credentials.

Jarrod Bowen enjoyed a stunning Liverpool audition. He set up two West Ham goals having been subject of interest from the Reds during the summer.

The former Hull City man has taken to the Premier League like a duck takes to water. He has been instrumental under the tutelage of David Moyes and is attracting interest from elsewhere.

Bowen has claimed three goals and five assists for the Hammers during 2021/22. Perhaps more interesting for Liverpool is that he is versatile to play anywhere across the front three.

This season Moyes has largely used him on the right flank but he can play central or out on the left too.

According to Football London, West Ham now value the forward at £40 million. He signed for the Hammers in January 2020 for £18 million, with West Ham now valuing him at more than double.

On Sunday he showcased his undeniable class and at 24-years-old he does fit the profile of a Liverpool signing quite nicely.

During 2021/22 he has more assists for the Hammers than Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have put together for Liverpool. He’s also just one behind the number of assists that Mo Salah has registered.

What have Liverpool fans said about Bowen?

Some cynical supporters don’t think the West Ham forward is good enough for Liverpool. Others, however, are convinced that he’s tailor-made to slot into a Jurgen Klopp system seamlessly.

Whilst Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek earn the lion share of the plaudits, Bowen is quietly going about his business and his two assists on Sunday showcased what he is capable of.

Plenty of fans took to Twitter to have their say after Sunday’s eye-catching performance and some are keen to see Bowen strutting his stuff at Anfield in the near future.
