Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged the rise of Jarrod Bowen ahead of his team's clash against West Ham United on Saturday. The Reds have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old attacker recently.
Klopp labelled Bowen as an unbelievable player for the Hammers, in his most recent press conference. The German tactician was quoted as saying in this regard:
"Bowen. What a player he became, unbelievable. We saw him as well at Hull, and he was really good that time. But not sure a lot of people expected this chap to become an unbelievable player."
