West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen has named Mohamed Salah as someone he looks to for inspiration within football. Bowen scored 12 goals in the Premier League last season and broke into the England squad after impressing from his right-sided forward role.
The 25-year-old is reportedly admired by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and could be on the radar of the Reds in the long run.
Bowen is now in his third season in the Premier League with West Ham since making the step up from Hull City as he looks to emulate the success Salah has had in front of goal for Liverpool during his five years at Anfield.

Bowen was asked by HaytersTV whether he looked up to anyone in the world of football as inspiration and his answer was the 'best of the best' Salah.
"There's a lot of left footed players all around the world like you said, but in the Premier League I look at Mo Salah and see what he's done in the past six years or however long he's been here," said the West Ham star.
"The goals that he's scored and the way that he plays, I'd say he's the best of the best in that position.
"He's one that I look at especially because he plays in the league as well."
