Jarrod Bowen believes that West Ham should be “pushing for European football every year”, but his manager Julen Lopetegui insists the focus must instead be on becoming a “good team”.

West Ham earned a crucial win on Monday night when they beat Newcastle 2-0 at St James’ Park to ease the pressure on Lopetegui.
