Cascarino likens Liverpool target Bowen to Salah

Former Aston Villa striker Tony Cascarino can understand Liverpool watching West Ham midfielder Jarrod Bowen.

Cascarino has outlined the similarities between Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Bowen.

“He had an amazing goal record at Hull City before West Ham bought him. It was something like 50-odd goals in 120 appearances. That's not bad for someone who is not a natural centre forward," Cascarino told TalkSport.

“He's direct and he's a bit like Salah where he always seems to get a chance in a game and will run at people and play in different positions.

“He has great energy. He will help his full-back out all the time.

“He's come on leaps and bounds and you have to give David Moyes credit for that. He's stayed with him.

“Benrahma is more skilful, on the other side he's got loads of tricks in his armoury.

“Bowen is more predictable but very effective. He will always outscore Benrahma."
