Jarrod Bowen has long been mooted as a potential Liverpool transfer target, with speculation over Mo Salah’s future sure to revitalise links closer to the next summer window.
The Reds will find it somewhat more difficult to prise the Englishman away from London, however, should they wish to, after West Ham agreed a long-term contract, as reported by Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter).
The 26-year-old has been in superb form for the Hammers this term, registering seven goal contributions in eight games.
