Michael Owen picks Jarrod Bowen as 'perfect replacement' for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has identified West Ham's Jarrod Bowen as the 'perfect replacement' for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool. Salah is leaving Liverpool after their final Premier League 1-1 draw against Brentford on Sunday. Despite West Ham's relegation to the Championship, Owen believes Bowen should remain in the Premier League, stating: 'Under normal circumstances, no. However, Jarrod Bowen is incredible; you've got a short career; I mean, he has to be playing in the Premier League.' Owen has consistently backed Bowen as an ideal successor to Salah at Anfield. With Liverpool needing to replace their departing star, Bowen's Premier League pedigree could make him an attractive option for the Reds.
