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

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/09/pundit-tips-west-ham-to-earn-fa-cup-fourth-round-place/) forward [Jarrod Bowen](https://readwestham.com/2021/12/29/perry-groves-applauds-excellent-jarrod-bowen-display/) 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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjul6uUmxDI&feature=onebox) 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](https://www.sofascore.com/player/jarrod-bowen/552884) 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](https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/1480321862190174209), 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](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/04/noel-whelan-believes-bukayo-saka-would-suit-liverpools-style/), Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood.

This season Bowen – described as [‘first-class’](https://www.skysports.com/football) by Daniel Gabbidon – has [scored six times and added another 10 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/leistungsdaten/spieler/314875) in 29 appearances across all competitions.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

On form, it’s difficult to pinpoint [many better wingers](https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/england/premier-league/17) 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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322596/Show/Jarrod-Bowen) in recent months.

Whilst the competition for attacking spots in Garth Southgate’s squad is fierce, at present the [£31.5million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jarrod-bowen/marktwertverlauf/spieler/314875) star must at least be in the running.
