West Ham attacker Bowen: I'm learning striker role

West Ham United attacker Jarrod Bowen says he's happy playing as a striker.

Bowen has 10 goals as he fills in for the injured Michail Antonio.

“I am just dealing with it as I go. There will be games where I struggle and it's a learning curve, but you keep learning as you play. It is not my main position so there are a lot of things for me to learn," he told whufc.com.

“I think you take confidence from the games that you play well in. When you don't play so well then you have the chance to learn, to see what you didn't do so well, and try and learn.

“I wouldn't say I'm looking specifically at any other strikers on the world stage. It is more about speaking to the coaches and seeing what I can do to improve. Whether that be with or without the ball. I'm sure there will be times when I might need to play in different positions, so I've got to be ready to play any position I'm asked to play."
