West Ham need Bowen at his best if they’re to climb up the table

After an impres🅘sive summer of spending following the appointment of Lopetegui, it’s been a rough start to the season for West Ham, who are yet to live up to the promise🦄 many expected from the Irons.

Yet with Bowen’s form yet to pick up, the winger returning to his best will be key in West Ham picking up wins and climbing back up the Premier League standings, where a Europ𒉰ean finish is still the dream for the Hammers.

Indeed, West Ham’s success in recen🎐t years is directly linked to Bowen being on song for the east London side, and the Irons will want to see the former Hull City star back at his best after t🦩he international break, with Tottenham around the corner.
