According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have shortlisted West Ham United attacker Jarrod Bowen as one of the options ahead of the transfer window.
With Mohamed Salah leaving the club at the end of the season and Hugo Ekitike suffering a long term injury that is expected to keep him out of action for this year, the Premier League giants are identifying attacking options in the market.

The Reds desperately need reinforcements, and they need them fast.
Liverpool’s recruitment team has zeroed in on a very familiar Premier League face to help cushion the blow that they are about to face and it’s Bowen.
Jarrod Bowen can solve attacking crisis at Liverpool
If you’re looking to replace even a fraction of what Salah brings to Anfield, the profile has to be highly specific.
You need a left-footed right winger with a relentless work rate and an eye for goal. At 29 years old, Bowen fits that exact description perfectly.
Despite West Ham enduring an absolutely miserable 2025/26 campaign that has them deeply entrenched in a relegation dogfight, Bowen’s individual quality has consistently shined through.
He’s already racked up 10 goals and nine assists in 36 appearances across all competitions this season.
He is incredibly strong on the ball, tactically disciplined out of possession, and a proven England international at the absolute peak of his career.

The club is reportedly monitoring former academy product Harry Wilson and highly-rated Bazoumana Toure.
They are also still heavily linked with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, though prying him away will require beating off intense competition from Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
There is no single player in world football who can step into Salah’s boots and immediately replicate his historic numbers. It’s an impossible task.
However, rebuilding a successful attack is about finding reliable players. Bowen knows the Premier League inside out, possesses the exact tactical profile Arne Slot is looking for, and could be available at a serious discount if West Ham fail to beat the drop.
