Bowen Throws Hat in the Ring 

West Ham United could have a new captain next season, with star winger Jarrod Bowen expressing his desire to lead the team.

The armband became vacant after Declan Rice’s departure a year ago, leaving manager David Moyes with a tough choice. Kurt Zouma was ultimately selected, but his on-field leadership has been questioned by fans.

Bowen, a popular figure both on and off the pitch, believes he has the qualities to take on the captaincy. “I would like to captain West Ham,” he declared. “Maybe it comes in time.”

Despite his quiet demeanour, Bowen emphasises his understanding of the club’s values and his vocal presence on the field. He aligns with many fans’ wishes to see a more inspiring leader.

Whether Bowen gets his wish remains to be seen, but his ambition to lead the Hammers is a clear sign of his commitment and dedication to the club.
