West Ham boss Moyes talks Alvarez, Bowen impact ahead of Wolves clash

West Ham boss David Moyes is happy to have Edson Alvarez back for tomorrow's clash with Wolves.

Moyes also had a word for 19 goal Jarrod Bowen today.

He said today: "It'll be great to have Edson Álvarez back in the squad, after his suspension. We've missed his presence, and he has had a big influence on the team here since he arrived.

"I think he's done really well, but maybe the intensity and speed of the Premier League has taken him a bit of time to get used to, and that's the reason he's picked up so many bookings. We don't have a huge squad, so his suspension has had an impact on us.

"I haven't had a conversation with him [about his discipline]. I expect him to be experienced enough to understand he can't go getting yellow cards every week. He's wise enough and he doesn't need me to tell him."

Moyes also said: "Someone told me Jarrod Bowen's now scored 19 goals in all competitions, and if he got to 20 that'd be great. In my head if he got to 20 Premier League goals that would be a brilliant achievement.

"He's someone who doesn't always play as a No9 - he's quite often been out wide - so his numbers show his capabilities. He's got a lot of assists as well, and he continues to be very impressive."
