Ashton: Bowen my favourite West Ham signing for some time

Former West Ham striker Dean Ashton is impressed by January signing Jarrod Bowen.

Ashton says Bowen looks like he belongs at West Ham.

“For me, he's probably my favourite West Ham signing for as long as I can remember, to be honest," Ashton told the club's website.

“I know what it's like to have been there and the hunger he has shown over the last two or three seasons for Hull, who were not exactly a team challenging for the title, and to score the amount of goals he did from a wide area, with the ability he's got, it was obvious to me that he could do it in the Premier League.

“I'm glad West Ham took a chance on him, and I think there is plenty more development in him as well. He can make a difference and he's done that in the games he has played so far."
