In an attempt to replace Mohammed Salah, Michail Antonio has stated that Jarrod Bowen of West Ham would require “serious dough” for Liverpool to sign.
With Bowen having just inked a new contract that will keep him at the London Stadium for the next seven years, the striker chuckled at the situation and joked that Liverpool would need to spend every penny they would receive from selling Salah.
He was all praise for his buddy, saying that right now everything he touches turns to gold, but he shrugged off rumors that a switch to the Reds was possible.
Presenter Rickie Haywood-Williams asked the following question on the Footballer’s Football Podcast [24 October]: “A lot of people have been talking about your boy Mikey, Jarrod Bowen as a potential target for Liverpool.”
“I believe Jarrod Bowen is ill,” Antonio said, cutting him off with, “He’s a bagsman.” Right now, everything he touches turns to gold. “But come on, it’s going to cost a lot of money. Man just signed a seven-year contract, so all the money Salah is bringing in, they have to give it to us, buddy.
He is obviously excellent. Playing on the right flank and left-footed, he is undoubtedly the ideal replacement, but it won’t be simple to get him out of West Ham. The dude recently signed a seven-year contract.
None at all
The seven-year contract ought to have put an end to any speculation about Bowen moving to Merseyside, and it has in more general discussions. As Antonio points out, he has pledged his long-term future to West Ham, and only an absurd offer could undo that. Whether or whether the Reds sell Salah, any transfer is now totally off the table, even though it would have made sense in the past given Bowen’s position and style.
With six goals in nine Premier League games this season, Bowen’s play for West Ham has been really impressive. He will be hoping to build on this form going forward and support his team as they push for additional success at the end of the campaign.
By scoring the game-winning goal in the Europa Conference League final the previous season, he cemented his legendary reputation and dedication to West Ham by agreeing to a new contract. For a while to come, he will be a Hammer.
