Steve Bruce has said that he 'scrambled' to sign West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen while manager of Newcastle United after seeing the 26-year-old's performances at Hull City.
Bowen has enjoyed a great three-year stint with the Hammers so far, scoring 32 goals and providing 24 assists in 129 matches in all competitions, but could've landed at St James' Park had Bruce managed to gather the funds.
The 62-year-old had actually already signed Bowen in his previous job at Hull in 2014 from Hereford United, where Bowen first truly made a name for himself netting 54 times in 131 matches for the Tigers.
