West Ham attacker Bowen: I'm now in career best form

West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen is full of pride making the England squad this week.

Bowen missed World Cup selection last season and has used the disappointment as a spur this term.

“I was disappointed to miss out but that's what happened," he said.

“I had to deal with it and all I could do was keep playing football to a level that I know that I can play at and everything will take care of itself.

“I think obviously the way I started this season I'm probably playing the best football that I've played, I think, in my career.

“I've had those experiences of Europe. It's a bit different to when I came (before).

“I'm a Dad now, so I'm in a different kind of place of, you know, you just feel a bit more mature and a bit more mature head on your shoulders.

“I feel in a really good place and, like I said, to be back here I'm really grateful for it."
