West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen is thought to be a target for Liverpool this summer.
According to The Athletic, the Reds are looking to add to their attacking unit and Jurgen Klopp happens to be an admirer of the 24-year-old attacker.
Bowen has been outstanding for West Ham since his move from Hull City back in January 2020. He managed to score eight goals and pick up five assists in the Premier League last season.
The 24-year-old attacker signed a long-term contract with West Ham and the Hammers are unlikely to let him leave anytime soon.
The Londoner paid a fee of around £18 million for the player just over a year ago and Liverpool will have to pay well over the odds to convince the Hammers to sell him.
Furthermore, Bowen plays on the right side of the attack and he is unlikely to get regular game time at Anfield ahead of Mohamed Salah.
The 24-year-old is a key player for West Ham and it seems highly unlikely that he will move to Liverpool without the guarantee of first-team football, given how well settled he is at the London club right now.
The report from Athletic also adds that any potential move for the West Ham player would depend on the sales of Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri. The Reds are looking to offload both players this summer.
Here is what the Liverpool fans had to say.
He’s a really good player so I don’t understand most comments on here. I’m ignoring all of these rumours though because 75% of them are total bollocks, including this one probably.

He’s a good player. I wouldn’t have him as good enough to ever be a regular starter, but he’s better — or more suitable — than Minamino or Origi.
HG, grafter, left footed, all pluses.
But they’ll probably want too much for a back up and LFC will look elsewhere. https://t.co/zEkLbsHqsN

I think Jarrod Bowen makes sense for Liverpool as a squad player, especially as a homegrown given foreign player limits. Left-footed, very high work rate, 8 goals + 5 assists in 20/21, and should adapt well to a pressing game. https://t.co/FtXGuCIZ5U
