David Moyes’ stance on West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen amid talk of a Liverpool move to replace Sadio Mane

West Ham United will not yield to pressure and sell Jarrod Bowen this summer despite growing interest from Liverpool and other clubs, LondonWorld has been told.

The Hammers are looking to bring in a striker to help Michail Antonio, a midfielder to replace the departed club captain Mark Noble and a winger to add depth to a squad that looked to be out of gas after a long season.

But selling top-scorer Bowen will not be entertained by the board or the manager.

The Hammers players are attracting interest from clubs higher up the table, led by the impressive Bowen who scored 18 goals in all competitions this season.

He was sensational during the Europa League campaign, and scored goals in big games as the Irons finished seventh.

The forward has been by far the best player for the Hammers this season which has culminated in an England call up, with most fans saying it’s been long overdue.

Liverpool are looking for a player in his calibre, with great technique and swift pace, to replace Sadio Mane, who is keen on a move to the Bundesliga to join Bayern Munich.

Since arriving from Hull two seasons ago, Bowen has scored 26 goals in all competitions and his improvement has caught the attention of most of Europe‘s top clubs.

But LondonWorld understands that David Moyes and board will not sell the player because he is key to their project.

The ambition of the club is to get to the Europa League next season, but they will give the Europa Conference League their best shot as they look to establish the club as a true top six side in the Premier League that is always playing in Europe.

Issa Diop also linked with Lazio move

Italian reports claim that Issa Diop, who has dropped down the pecking order since the signing of Kurt Zouma, is wanted by Lazio.

Diop was linked with a move to PSG before he joined West Ham and even though he has had a tough time recently, there is a feeling he is still a top defender and will thrive well under a manager who plays to his strengths.

Former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is now the boss at Lazio and would like to take the towering French defender to Rome.
