West Ham boss Moyes sets Bowen goals target

West Ham boss David Moyes has set Jarrod Bowen a new goals target.

Bowen struck a hat-trick in Monday's win against Brentford - a first of his career. The forward has 17 goals in all competitions so far this season.

“He's so keen to score goals, he's got a look in his eyes," Moyes said. “He's enjoying the feeling of being a goalscorer, he's looking like he can be a goalscorer.

“I'm just sensing someone who's on that route. He can still play wide-right and we'll play him wide-right when we need to, he can chop and change."

“I've not set him a target but in my head, if he can get to 20 goals it will be a great record for a centre-forward at West Ham, it really will be," Moyes added. “I've not told him that yet but there you go, I've probably set a target for him."
