The former Liverpool striker was discussing possible options on talkSPORT when Bowen’s name was put forward, and Owen admitted the West Ham captain would make perfect sense for Arne Slot’s side.

Michael Owen praises Jarrod Bowen as Liverpool option

Speaking on talkSPORT, the ex-England forward said: **“**Jarrod Bowen’s a legend of a player, West Ham, you know, adore the man, and rightly so.”

The former Ballon d’Or winner then explained exactly why the 29-year-old appeals to him as a possible Liverpool signing.

“Honestly, left foot, right foot, bang, bang, corners, pace. I mean, a real top finisher.

“I think he’s a brilliant player. I would be taking him to the World Cup, and, as I say, you know, I don’t want to upset West Ham fans, but if they went down, then he would be my idea of somebody to replace Salah.”
