West Ham have finally announced their first signing of the summer after snapping up Edson Alvarez today.

Bowen has been a standout performer for West Ham over the past few years and has been labelled an ‘’ talent. 

The 26-year-old has been used as a striker by Moyes in the past and operated through the middle during his time at Hull City.

Bowen may be ready to step up for West Ham as a striker and if Moyes manages to land Palmer, it could allow the Englishman to lead the line.
