THE SUCCESSIVE PLAN OF LIVERPOOL
Liverpool’s management has been painstakingly planning for the future, and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen appears to be on their radar. The Merseyside giants have been following the 26-year-old attacker for some time, with the hope that he may fill the shoes of the iconic Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian maestro decides to leave Anfield.
LINKS TO BOWEN’S ANFIELD
The Anfield faithful are familiar with Bowen’s name. The West Ham player has been linked with a move to Liverpool on several occasions recently. While the Hammers’ manager, David Moyes, would like to keep the former Hull City star, the temptation of Liverpool may be too much for Bowen.
THE UNCERTAINTY OF SALAH’S FUTURE
Mohamed Salah, 31, continues to astound the football world. However, new rumors, most notably from the BBC, suggest a possible relocation to Saudi Arabia. As the transfer season approaches, these rumors are certain to acquire traction, leaving Liverpool to consider life after Salah.
POTENTIAL AND VALUATION
According to sources close to West Ham’s ownership, the club’s value of Bowen is about £70 million. In his prime, the winger demonstrates qualities that have gained him plaudits from experts, with Paul Merson describing him as ‘excellent’ in a post for Football London.
Comparisons to Salah, though, may be premature. While Bowen’s ability is apparent, duplicating Salah’s prowess and effect will be difficult. Jurgen Klopp, known for nurturing and developing talent, may see potential in Bowen. However, in order for West Ham’s star to be regarded Salah’s replacement, he must dramatically improve his Premier League output.
THE WAY AHEAD
It’s a critical time for both organizations and the athlete. Bowen’s progress at West Ham and prospective transfer to Liverpool will be closely monitored. Whether he can rise to the situation and fill Salah’s shoes is a story that will play out over the next few seasons.
