Stephen Warnock pinpoints ‘big problem’ for Jarrod Bowen’s England hopes

West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen continued a stellar season with a goal to help send the Hammers into the FA Cup fourth round. 

The 24-year-old was once again at the heart of everything in an attacking sense for David Moyes’ side and rounded off the display with a late strike. 

Bowen earned an outstanding 8.90 Sofascore rating as the Irons beat Leeds United 2-0 to progress and Moyes’ men will now face Kidderminster Harriers away in the next stage. 

Speaking on BBC Match of the Day, former Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock addressed calls for the West Ham face to be in England contention. 

I do see it as a possibility, I think he still needs to do more. The big problem is he has huge competition in that area of the pitch. 

That competition would come from the likes of Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood. 

This season Bowen – described as ‘first-class’ by Daniel Gabbidon – has scored six times and added another 10 assists in 29 appearances across all competitions. 

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

On form, it’s difficult to pinpoint many better wingers in the Premier League – particularly of those eligible to represent the Three Lions. 

Having previously been an industrious, versatile forward, Bowen has added a level of quality and goal output to his all-around game in recent months. 

Whilst the competition for attacking spots in Garth Southgate’s squad is fierce, at present the £31.5million valued star must at least be in the running. 

matchday.
