Jarrod Bowen reposts video showing him hugging West Ham new arrival
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen shared a message to Lukasz Fabianski after he re-signed for the club earlier this week.
Graham Potter oversaw several players leave the club in the summer, with Aaron Cresswell, Mohammed Kudus, Vladimir Coufal and Lukasz Fabianski leaving West Ham.
The hierarchy somewhat backed the manager in his first summer window as Mads Hermansen, Malik El-Hadji Diouf and Mateus Fernandes signed for the Hammers to bolster the squad.
However, following Hermansen’s poor performances and Wes Foderingham leaving to join Cypriot club Aris Limassol, the club made the decision to bring back Fabianski as a free agent.
Upon his return, the club captain Bowen shared a message on social media to welcome the Polish international back to the London Stadium.
Jarrod Bowen shares emotional footage after Lukasz Fabianski returns to training
Bowen reposted a video from the official club account capturing his reaction after seeing Fabianski in the training facilities.
The forward hugged the goalkeeper and captioned the post with heart emojis on his Instagram story.
Other players, such as former teammates Pablo Fornals, Cresswell and Dinos Mavropanos, showed support as they all liked the original post.
West Ham made the decision to re-sign Fabianski with clubs still able to sign free agents despite the transfer window ending.
The 40-year-old had spent seven seasons at the club before his initial exit, featuring in 216 games in all competitions.
With West Ham supporters criticising Hemansen’s performances after his move this summer, Fabianski could be given a run in the first team once again.
He has been a reliable and commanding presence throughout his time at the London Stadium and adds the experience Hermansen may still be seeking.

Lucas Paqueta hands West Ham transfer boost
Another player that could have left this summer was Lucas Paqeuta, as a deal with Aston Villa was advanced, but rejected by the Brazilian.
Football Insider revealed that the club were handed a boost late in the window when Paqueta declared his desire to stay at West Ham.
The Hammers were understood to be seeking £45 million for the Brazilian amid financial issues, but Paqueta’s decision to stay has proved crucial for Potter, as he has played a key role in the team’s performances this season.
