Bowen first to out score Hammers legend

|

Hammer Jarrod Bowen has amassed 18 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season, the first Hammer to do so since Paolo Di Canio.

Bowen made 35 appearances in the Premier League scoring 12 goals and making 12 assists racking up 2903 minutes on the pitch.

The attacker made nine appearances in the Europa League scoring a further three goals and making an additional assist during 589 minutes on the pitch.

The EFL League Cup competition saw three more appearances and one goal while the FA cup saw three appearances and two goals.

The 25 year old made 50 appearances in total this season totalling 4,000 minutes with one game game remaining could yet hit that fabled 20 goal tally.

In 1999/2000 Di Canio scored 16 league goals in the Premier League for West Ham and 1 in the UEFA cup.

Di Canio actually scored 18 goals that season but one goal was removed the record books  after West Ham forfeited their Worthinton Cup win on penalties against Aston Villa.

This season Jarrod Bowen won the Players’ Player award at West Ham player awards but is already being touted as the new Cristiano Ronaldo by those outside of West Ham.

If Jack Grealish is worth £100m to Manchester City how much is Bowen worth if he were on sale which he most certainly is not!
