Liverpool have just been handed a major blow in their pursuit of West Ham star Jarrod Bowen, who was said to have been viewed as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah . The England international signed a new contract with David Moyes’ outfit on Sunday, ensuring that any attempts that the Reds were planning on making to sign the winger will now require an additional premium. West Ham announced the news of Bowen's contract on Sunday, confirming that he has committed his future to the club until 2030. Liverpool had long maintained an interest in Bowen, who may have been viewed as someone with the potential to replace Salah should Saudi Arabia come knocking once again for his services. A new contract for Bowen doesn’t necessarily ensure that he won’t be heading to Anfield, but he almost certainly will cost more than Liverpool had initially planned - especially signed up with West Ham for six-and-a-half years.
