Premier League champions Liverpool have reportedly identified West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen as a key target to bolster their attacking options under new manager Arne Slot this summer, according to a report from CaughtOffside. The Anfield club are said to be keen on securing the England international’s signature as they look to build on their title-winning campaign.

However, West Ham United are reportedly holding a firm stance and are unlikely to entertain any offers for the 28-year-old winger. Bowen has become a firm fan favorite since his move to the London Stadium from Hull City in 2020 and is consistently one of their standout performers.

Despite West Ham’s reluctance to sell, CaughtOffside suggests that Liverpool could test their resolve with a substantial offer in the region of £51 million for Bowen. His departure would undoubtedly be a significant blow for Graham Potter’s side.

Liverpool are reportedly in the market for a dynamic attacker who is versatile enough to play across the entire frontline, and Bowen fits this profile perfectly. The ‘world-class’ England international also brings a wealth of Premier League experience to the table, having made 196 top-flight appearances. The potential lure of joining a club of Liverpool’s stature could also be a factor in Bowen’s decision.

Bowen has been a consistent presence for West Ham this season, featuring in 32 matches across all competitions and contributing with 10 goals and nine assists under both Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter.

Interestingly, Bowen was linked with a move away from the London Stadium last summer, prompting West Ham to issue a strong hands-off warning and reportedly place a hefty £100 million price tag on the attacker.

Liverpool are anticipated to make several attacking reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window, particularly with the expectation that Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez will depart Anfield this summer, with Saudi Pro League clubs reportedly maintaining their interest. The potential acquisition of Bowen would add significant quality and Premier League know-how to Liverpool’s frontline as they look to continue their success. This transfer saga will be one to watch closely in the coming months.
