Liverpool plotting surprise move for Jurgen Klopp favourite as they plan for life after Salah | OneFootball

Liverpool are considering a move to sign West Ham star Jarrod Bowen as per an exclusive update from journalist DaveOCKOP.

The Reds are reportedly drawing up a shortlist of attacking targets for the summer window, and Bowen has once again emerged as a candidate.

With the confirmed departure of Mohamed Salah looming at the end of the season, Liverpool’s recruitment team is looking to identify a winger who can help fill in the void that the Egyptian king will leave.

Among the players linked with a move is West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

Liverpool have a longstanding interest in Jarrod Bowen

As per journalist DaveOCKop, he is still admired by the Liverpool hierarchy and will be no surprise if they make a move to sign Bowen, specially if the Hammers are relegated.

This is not the first time the England international has been linked with a move to Merseyside.

Liverpool’s interest in Bowen dates back several years, famously receiving a public endorsement from former manager Jurgen Klopp, who once described him as ‘unbelievable’.

The 29-year-old has remained a rare bright spot for West Ham during a turbulent campaign. Despite the Hammers’ struggles near the foot of the table, Bowen has maintained his high standards, contributing 8 goals and 8 assists in 32 Premier League appearances this season.

His tactical intelligence, work rate, and ability to play across the frontline make him a seamless fit for the high-intensity style Liverpool continues to employ.

Despite the heavy links, any potential deal would represent a significant departure from FSG’s traditional transfer policy. Liverpool typically prioritizes players aged 26 or under to ensure long-term resale value.

Our view: Why Bowen’s age makes a move unlikely

At 29, Bowen is approaching the twilight of his peak years, and he is currently tied to a massive seven-year contract at the London Stadium that runs until 2030.

However, the financial landscape could shift dramatically if West Ham fails to avoid the drop.

The Hammers are currently embroiled in a tense relegation battle, sitting just two points above the relegation zone.

If West Ham are relegated, their bargaining power would take a massive hit, potentially allowing Liverpool to secure Bowen for a “bargain” price.

Unless such a discount is available and the player is willing to temper his wage demands, the Anfield giants may yet look toward a younger alternative to fill the void left by Salah.

It has already been reported that Liverpool owners have given the green light to make a move for Yan Diomande, who the Reds have identified as ideal Salah replacement.
