Jarrod Bowen has already enjoyed a whirlwind few years but if all goes to plan he could be celebrating a truly unforgettable 2022.
The West Ham United forward is not only aiding the club's push for a top-four finish this season but is set to play a prominent role in their Europa League quarter-final against Lyon, the first leg of which is on Thursday at the London Stadium. Many people believe that it is only a matter of time before the 25-year-old earns an England call-up and no doubt Bowen will be hoping his fine form will allow him to force his way into the national squad for the World Cup in Qatar just seven months away.
An unfortunately-timed heel injury put paid to his chances of being part of the recent Three Lions squad for friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast but last month Gareth Southgate acknowledged that Bowen, who has 13 goals in all competitions this term, is a player firmly on his radar.
