According to Steve McManaman, Jarrod Bowen of West Ham would “easily fit” in at Liverpool as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Saudi Arabia made a £150 million offer for Salah, which Liverpool rejected in the summer.
However, the Reds’ resolve may be put to the test once more in the coming months, either in the spring or the summer.
Should the Egyptian leave, the Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has been linked with a move to Anfield, but McManaman claims that Bowen, who Liverpool has previously targeted, would also be a good fit.
When asked by Betfred if the 26-year-old could take Salah’s place, he responded, “I don’t see why not.
In the past few years, he has proven to be a good player, as evidenced by his dangerous performance against Liverpool on Sunday.
“He created a lot of issues for Liverpool, but you can’t tell if they’d prefer to sign a bigger name if they lost Salah and when you take into account the money they’d get for Mo.
However, I think Jarrod Bowen would fit in well at Liverpool because he works hard, can play down the middle or on the right, and is very dangerous.
“Considering everything Mohamed Salah has done for the club, it should go without saying that Liverpool will find it very difficult to replace him.
However, Jarrod Bowen could easily fit into their side, and we’ll see if Jurgen can work his magic and help Jarrod grow even more.
“. Bowen has already scored four goals and provided an assist this season.
He cemented his place in Hammers lore by scoring the game-winning goal in the Europa Conference League final last season.
Bowen also scored a fine header in the team’s most recent 3-1 loss to Liverpool.
Bowen is well-known to have many fans, including Jurgen Klopp, who once praised the winger as an “unbelievable player” they were keeping tabs on at Hull.
Last year, he exclaimed, “Bowen, what a player he became! Unbelievable.”.
He was excellent at the time when we saw him at Hull.
Unbelievable player, I don’t think many people anticipated this jump. ”
