Hull City manager Grant McCann is “delighted” to hav꧙e Jarrod Bowen but he kept quiet about the Newcastle United transfer links, .

McCann refused to comment on speculation linking Bowen with a m🥂ove to Newcastle. Various reports, , suggest that Bowen is on Newcastle’s radar.

There is no surprise♍ in this when you look at his stats. The 22-year-old scored twice against Middlesbrough last weekend and then twice against Preston on Wednesday night. This takes his total tally to 12 league goals for the season with only Aleksandr Mitrovic bettering that.

Speaking after the midweek win against Preston, McCann said ():“ If the question is whether we’re going to sell him in January is not forꦡ me. But t🌳he way he’s playing at the minute, we’re just over the moon. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, he’s the best at what he does in this league.

“We’re delighted to have him. I want Jarrod to keep scoring because he deserves it. The mentali▨ty he’s got is unbelievable.”

TBR’s view

Bowen is a tremendou💟s talent and Newcastle need to make this a priority. End product has been lacking for the Magpies with Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron, Andy Carroll, Dwight Gayle and Joelinton managing one goal between t🤡hem.

At the same time, Bowen is still banging in the goals. That’💞s 50 in just over 100 games for the Tigers now. He’s young, English, hungry and ready to step up.
