Harry names the Irons top man

|

Harry Redknapp knows more about West Ham than most.

Redknapp enjoyed a golden spell managing West Ham between 1994 and 2001 having played 175 times for the club as a winger per Hammers News

And he came through the club’s famed academy with the likes of legend Bobby Moore with whom he became a best friend.

Redknapp enjoyed a 37% win percentage as West Ham manager and and provided a brand of football which continued the West Ham Way style – attack attack attack

So he knows a player and what it takes to be a key man at West Ham.

He has gone on the record in the London Evening Standard as identifying the Hammers player who makes the team tick and surprisingly it isn’t Declan Rice.

Redknapp says Jarrod Bowen is in fact West Ham’s most important player.

Bowen looks like he’s coming back to form now which is great because I think he’s an outstanding player for them,” Redknapp told The Evening Standard.

“They rely heavily on him and he looks like he’s suddenly hitting top form again.

“When he’s in form they’re a different team.”

And the former manager claimed that Jarrod was man of the match in the 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
