West Ham boss Moyes: Ex-Hereford striker Bowen set for Prem record today

West Ham boss David Moyes has revealed Jarrod Bowen could break a record today.

The Irons go to Brentford with Bowen in superb goalscoring form.

Moyes announced: "I wasn't aware that if Jarrod scores against Brentford, he'll be the first player in Premier League history to score in a team's first six away game of the season. He's made a really good start to the season and his form has been really good.

"There's a real consistency to him at the moment and he's getting goals. Let's hope he can break that record tomorrow.

"I think the length of his new contract would give an idea of what we think of Jarrod. I like Jarrod's journey. Football used to always be about starting in the lower leagues and making your way to the top if you can, which is probably happening less and less in football nowadays.

"For him to go from Hereford to Hull, and then Hull to West Ham United, and become an England international on the way, I think that says a lot about him and how well he has done."
