Jarrod Bowen posts seven-word message to fans after stunning West Ham latest
Jarrod Bowen took to social media to thank the travelling fans as West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at the death by Bournemouth.
The Hammers were just minutes from securing a vital away win on Monday, 16 December, thanks to Lucas Paquetá’s penalty.
However, Enes Ünal equalised with a stunning free kick in the 90th minute, forcing a draw.
Julen Lopetegui’s team still sit 14th amid growing speculation about the Spaniard’s job security.
Englishman Jarrod Bowen shared match highlights on Instagram, dedicating a story to the travelling fans. He wrote: “Thank you, travelling Hammers. See you all Saturday” followed by the hammer and iron emoji.
West Ham are backing Lopetegui and must keep Jarrod Bowen
The East London club were recently expected to sack Lopetegui, but for now, it appears they are prepared to back him.
Bowen remains one of the team’s few consistent performers, contributing an impressive eight goals this season and 22 last season.
Despite ongoing speculation linking Bowen with moves away, the 27-year-old seems committed to the club, having signed a new contract just last year.
The hierarchy also looks set to support the Spanish manager as the January transfer window approaches. It’s a risky move but signals their full backing of the former Real Madrid coach.
According to Football Insider, Michail Antonio’s injury has forced the club to explore the market. They are said to be targeting Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, whose potential partnership with Niclas Füllkrug up front could be crucial in securing the team’s survival this season.
West Ham’s busy festive period is approaching, with matches against Brighton, Southampton, and Liverpool before the year ends.
In other news, the Hammers are planning another heartfelt gesture for an injured player.
