In an exclusive interview with The Transfer Tavern, former Liverpool player Paul Stewart has expressed his concerns over his old side signing West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen.

According to The Athletic's James Pearce, Liverpool are interested in bringing Bowen to Anfield this summer as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster his forward options.

Last season, the 24-year-old impressed for West Ham, contributing to 13 of their Premier League goals. He also won 1.4 fouls per game, the second-highest average (via WhoScored) in the Hammers' squad, helping his side to win free kicks.

Based on that, Bowen looks like he could bring something to Liverpool's own squad. Stewart, though, has his doubts.

"It's almost a bit like [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain," Stewart told TT. "I was surprised when he went, players you see as bit-part players. And listen, he's done well at West Ham, but would he get a game week in, week out at Liverpool? I don't think so."

Bowen has not really been linked with Liverpool before; this one has sort of come out of the blue.

A move to Anfield? It would probably be enticing for the Englishman. But as Stewart alluded to, it is going to be difficult to get regular game time ahead of the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
