The German coach is interested in a Hammers player to replace the Brazilian 

Jürgen Klopp's side will face the player who was and may yet remain one of their most desirable targets in next year's transfer window. The Reds will have a tough task this Wednesday night at the legendary Anfield Stadium when they take on West Ham United, a team that, while not one of the best in the Premier League so far, has stood out for its individuality in attack, with Jarrod Bowen being the focal point on which the team relies in many of its matches.

At 25 years of age, the British striker has experienced since 2021 an important upturn in his career, because after finishing last season with 15 goals, this 2022 had a slow and complicated start with the Hammers, recently rediscovering the goal to accumulate three goals in his last five appearances in all companies with the London team, looking against Liverpool in addition to the 3 points for his team to be able to draw the attention of the red team.

The West Ham striker is becoming more and more important for the club to avoid relegation throughout the season, making him a player with the ability to emigrate to another team with greater demands, being his rival in turn, one of those who could be interested in his services before the almost imminent departure of Roberto Firmino.

Although Liverpool's Brazilian striker has so far shown himself to be one of the best attacking elements that the German tactician has, the characteristics of a solvent striker and six years younger could maintain the interest of the Reds. Another of the requirements that could make him emigrate to Merseyside would be his great playing technique, as the Briton has proven to be a very complete striker with a good strike with both feet, a quality that was very characteristic of former Reds attacker Sadio Mané.

Generally speaking Bowen has all those characteristics that a Liverpool striker should have at the moment, but even though the Briton can play a big role in attack, he could be overshadowed by Mohamed Salah who is also left-footed and has the same preference to operate on the right side of the pitch. Although that is the main impediment to Klopp's decision not to take him on as a back-up option, the Hammers striker will be looking to beat Liverpool in this midweek Premier League fixture.
