West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen: I'm pinching myself after past year

West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen made his senior debut for England a little over a year ago.

The past 12 months have seen him welcome twins with his partner, while he will compete in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday with his teammates.

Bowen spoke at a press conference about the past year and what winning against Fiorentina would mean to him.

“The twins are here now and I'd love to score a goal for them!" he smiled and told reporters.

“Two would be nice, but I'll take one and scoring on Wednesday night is definitely something I've thought about!"

“It's massive!" he added.

“I'm pinching myself. I've been here three years and if you told me we'd be in a European final three years later, I'd have bitten your hand off!

“Last year, we were so disappointed to lose in the semi-final, so that probably gave us that extra bit of motivation to do it this year. With the season that we've had, it makes it even more special for us.

“The fans are traveling out here in I don't know how many numbers! Our fan base is incredible and we want to win it not just for us and our teammates, but mainly the fans."
