Former Liverpool forward, Michael Owen, has tipped Jarrod Bowen as the perfect replacement for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool FC.
Speaking during an appearance on talkSPORT, Owen praised the West Ham United FC attacker for his versatility, finishing ability and relentless work ethic, insisting he would suit manager Arne Slot’s style of play.
The former England international also pointed to Bowen’s experience in the Premier League and his ability to operate across different attacking positions as qualities that make him an ideal fit for Liverpool.
“Jarrod Bowen’s a legend of a player, West Ham adore the man, and rightly so. But if West Ham went down, he would fit for me, he’s absolutely brilliant,” the former Liverpool striker told talkSPORT.
“I was lucky to do a striking masterclass for a TV show we did last season with him and I couldn’t believe it. Honestly, left foot, right foot, bang, bang, bang, a real top finisher.
“I don’t want to upset West Ham fans, but if they do go down, he would be my idea of someone to replace Salah.”
