BOWEN: OUR TARGET IS TO BE TOP FOUR

JARROD BOWEN says West Ham have a strong enough squad to sustain a top-four challenge, despite their failure to bring in reinforcements.

Hammers boss David Moyes was frustrated in his search for a centreback and a forward on deadline day – and drawing a blank in the market has left West Ham’s squad looking thin.

Moves for Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car and Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard failed to materalise.

But Bowen (above) said: “If you look at the games – 23 in the Premier League, the Europa League, Carabao Cup and the FA Cup – we’ve had a lot.

“But the squad has done more than enough, so it’s about pushing forward over the second half of the season.”

Bowen’s fine form has pushed him consideration for an England call-up.

Speaking on behalf of FOOTY.COM, he said: “I’m happy with how it’s going, so if a call-up happened, I’d love it.”
