West Ham signing Jarrod Bowen is ready to help them in the relegation battle.

The Hammers are in the bottom three after losing to Manchester City in midweek.

And Bowen, who arrived from Hull City on deadline day in January, knows he has a part to play if they are to survive.

The 23-year-old struggled against City, but he knows he will get more chances to score in the coming games.

He also recalled his previous Premier League stint when he was a youngster at Hull.

"I think it was a bit different back then," said Bowen to reporters.

"I've matured as a player and I'm a few years older for one. I'm coming into it in my best form as well, so I'm just hoping that I get more chances and when I am out there on the pitch I have got to take it by the scruff of the neck and show my ability.

"I think it was important, especially coming into a game like this just to have my first couple of touches and I got that. But they're a very good side, there is no denying that, so we just move onto the next game now."
