Liverpool in Three-Club Race for Jarrod Bowen as Salah Replacement

Liverpool are among three Premier League clubs interested in signing West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen this summer, as they prepare for the departure of Mohamed Salah. The Reds are expected to need attacking reinforcements, with Hugo Ekitike also set to miss much of next season due to an Achilles injury.

According to Mail Online, Liverpool have been long-term admirers of Bowen and could make a move. Merseyside rivals Everton are also keen, with manager David Moyes wanting to reunite with his former forward. Newcastle United may also enter the race as they seek a replacement for Anthony Gordon, who is attracting interest from Bayern Munich.

Bowen, 29, could leave West Ham if the club are relegated from the Premier League. The Hammers currently sit 18th, two points from safety with two games remaining. Bowen joined West Ham from Hull City in 2020, scoring 84 goals in 278 appearances. He is under contract until 2030, but a £60 million exit is possible if West Ham drop to the Championship.

Speaking about his time at West Ham, Bowen said: 'I've been here six years in January and it's been, yeah, it's been crazy. Lots of highs, lots of lows, but honestly loved every single minute of it.' Despite speculation, former West Ham and Liverpool defender Glenn Johnson believes Bowen could stay even if relegated, citing his potential to become a club legend.
