Liverpool is eyeing one of the most intriguing forwards in the Premier League. But could he be the solution to replacing Mo Salah?
According to DaveOCKOP, Liverpool has set its sights on Jarrod Bowen, including him in their summer transfer plans. Bowen could be on his way out of West Ham United when the season concludes.

It’s reported that Liverpool’s interest is not contingent on West Ham’s status in the Premier League. The Hammers find themselves battling relegation, and should they drop to a lower division, Bowen is almost certain to seek a new challenge.
Nevertheless, Liverpool is expected to inquire about him regardless. This potential signing aligns perfectly with the club’s typical transfer strategy, as it would indeed be a classic Liverpool move, according to reports.
The Reds have pursued Bowen for some time, having considered him a viable option back in 2022 when Mohamed Salah‘s future was in doubt. Now, four years later, they may finally act.
However, with Bowen approaching his 30th birthday in December, this may be his last significant chance to join a club contending for major trophies. This urgency could make the move appealing to him, but it raises questions about the investment from Liverpool.

Replacing Salah is no small task, and it is likely that Liverpool will need more than one player to fill that gap. Bowen could play a key part, enhancing the squad’s depth and providing valuable experience on the wing—something Liverpool will miss if Salah departs.

Jarrod Bowen: Situation Overview
Performance and West Ham’s Challenges
As of April 21, 2026, Jarrod Bowen remains a crucial player for a struggling West Ham United. The 29-year-old captain has netted eight goals and provided eight assists in 33 Premier League appearances, including a standout two-assist match in a recent 4–0 victory against Wolves. Despite his impressive contributions and a solid average rating of 7.18, the Hammers are sitting precariously in 17th place, just two points above the relegation zone after a recent draw with Crystal Palace.

Transfer Speculations and Liverpool’s Interest
Bowen’s future is under close watch as Liverpool identifies him as a prime candidate to succeed Mohamed Salah. If West Ham is relegated, their “crown jewel” is likely to be sold to mitigate financial losses. Yet even if they avoid relegation, reports indicate that Liverpool’s recruitment team is planning a summer move for the forward, whose contract runs until 2030.
International Prospects
On the international front, Bowen has been named in Thomas Tuchel’s recent 35-man England squad for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. He is considered a top option for the 2026 World Cup this June, where he could provide elite left-footed support for Bukayo Saka.
