West Ham manager Moyes hopes Downes can emulate Bowen

West Ham United manager David Moyes hopes new signing Flynn Downes can enjoy similar growth to Jarrod Bowen.

Downes has joined West Ham from Championship side Swansea, signing a five-year contract with his new club.

Bowen moved to the Hammers from Hull City in 2020 and has become an England international.

"We are pleased to have signed Flynn and are looking forward to bringing him into the group," Moyes said.

"We think he's got good energy. We think he's got a lot of things which we have about our team, which we would want to keep and want to add to. I'm looking forward to it.

"We brought Jarrod Bowen from a similar situation at Hull, so we're always trying to find boys from the Championship who we think are going to step up to become Premier League players. I'm hoping that Flynn does.

"I think there's a good chance as he's got an awful lot of good attributes."
