Speaking to the Premier League’s official website, Owen explained why he feels that way.“Mo Salah is having another great season, but I’d pick Jared Bowen. He had a huge impact on West Ham’s success. Playing on the right, in the middle or a mix of both, he is a threat for the main goal. “He was impressive in front of goal and scored 11 goals in the Premier League, just one of the best of 12 goals in a season.”This statement might anger Liverpool fans, especially those of the former legend.
However, this is the unbiased opinion of an experienced professional. Sometimes it is impossible to prove his point. Another former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, and his teammate Gary Neville were both named West Ham stars in the Team of the Season. The latter controversially named four forwards in his squad, including Erling Haaland, Salah and Son Heung-min. Bowen is in the form of his life, but the Salah comparisons are a bit excessive. The Egyptian has long been a high-profile sensation. This season, Klopp will be keen to see him contribute to the points table.6 Michael Owen says West Ham United star is better than Liverpool’s Mo Salah this season.
