The 2025/26 Premier League season comes to a close on Sunday, and Liverpool will have one eye on a couple of other fixtures as they take on Brentford.After Bournemouth drew with Manchester City on Tuesday, the Reds are very likely to finish inside the Champions League places, sitting three points above the Cherries with a six-goal better goal difference.Meanwhile, with the title already wrapped up, the other major talking point on Sunday will be the battle for relegation between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, the latter of whom may sell Liverpool-linked Jarrod Bowen if they go down. You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?
Who should Richard Hughes be targeting above all… Photo Credit: Getty Images/Robin Jones Liverpool eye Jarrod Bowen if West Ham United go downLiverpool previously looked at Bowen when Jurgen Klopp was in charge back in 2021/22.Klopp had high praise for the West Ham star at the time, saying in March 2022: “Bowen – what a player he became. We saw him as well at Hull and he was really good.“But I don’t think a lot of people expected this jump.
Unbelievable player.”Now, with Mohamed Salah leaving, Bowen has been linked as a replacement, while The Guardian are now saying all of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are looking at the England international as an option should West Ham suffer relegation.It is thought that the Hammers would need to raise £100m from player sales in that scenario, and the former Hull City winger is wanted by several teams.Liverpool are right to change their transfer policy for Jarrod BowenWhen talk of a fresh move for the winger first emerged, Jamie Carragher suggested Bowen was too old for Liverpool now.Normally, Carragher would be correct, as the Reds generally prefer to sign younger talent no older than 26.However, it has become very clear this season that Arne Slot’s squad lacks experience, an issue that will only get worse once Salah and Andy Robertson leave.But adding a 29-year-old Bowen, who has spent years in the Premier League, to their ranks is exactly the sort of move that Liverpool need in order to bring some stability to this team.He doesn’t have to be the only replacement for Salah either, with his versatility meaning he can be used all across the frontline and compete with another summer addition for a place on the right.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
