Indeed it may even shock some fans across the Premier League.

Because it has been revealed that since making his top flight debut for West Ham, Bowen has more goal contributions than a staggering list of the league’s top players.

Bowen has 43 goals and 30 assists in the Premier League since his debut back in 2020.

His grand running total of 73 goal contributions is more than the following players – plus many more – in the same period:

West Ham’s man on fire has 14 more than his nearest competitor on the list – Callum Wilson.

A journalist has revealed which player Lopetegui is most excited about working with at West Ham. And it isn’t Bowen.

But it might well be after he reads this.

New manager’s first big West Ham dilemma

It will undoubtedly have Lopetegui wondering what to do with Bowen next season.

In an ideal world West Ham sign a top striker and a new left-sided player if they need to replace Paqueta.

Then Kudus can play more centrally – where he is most dangerous and prefers operating.

Bowen can then stay on the right from where he makes the Hammers tick.

The Spaniard may be so impressed by those numbers, though, that he wants to continue Moyes’ striker experiment with Bowen.

It’s a good dilemma to have of course.

But not necessarily a straightforward one to solve as it all hinges around getting the right striker in.

Get that particular balance right and Lopetegui could be off to a flyer in east London.
