Described by his first boss as a “manager’s dream”, Bowen’s last-minute winner in a closely-fought final against Fiorentina on Wednesday night provided an unforgettable end to West Ham’s 43-year wait for a major trophy.
The 26-year-old, whose partner is reality TV star Dani Dyer, has a down-to-earth demeanour which has seen him become a firm favourite among team-mates and the club’s supporters since he relocated to London in 2020.

Harry Souttar s 89th minute own-goal handed Bahrain a memorable victory over Australia, emerging 1-0 victors at the Cbus Super Stadium.
The visitors were handed the advantage late on after Kusini Yengi s straight red card, with Souttar turning home Mahdi Al Humaidan s cross after a spell of pressure.
Australia were restricted to few opportunities in the first half, with Craig Goodwin and Yengi going close in quick succession just before the interval.
Despite registering 69.3% of possession in the opening half, the hosts managed just five shots at Ebrahim Lutfallah s net, only one of which was on target.
Graham Arnold s side struggled to penetrate Bahrain s stern defensive shape, with their task made even more difficult when Yengi was given his marching …
When watching games from pretty much any league in the world, there is a reasonable chance one of the players featured will be described as on loan from Chelsea .
Such is the volume of players the recent FIFA Club World Cup winners send out on loan each season, they have even had their own WhatsApp group to keep in touch, as revealed a few years ago by Patrick Bamford.
The Leeds striker, who was on loan at Crystal Palace from Chelsea at the time, said: The loan department set it up and allowed people in. Sometimes it drains your battery when everyone is messaging each other.
It had been seen as a ploy for the London club to hoard players for several years before selling them on for a profit once they had established themselves, but in recent times, especially w…

Morris doubled Seattle s tally on the hour mark, with Rusnak then completing his hat-trick with a quickfire double.

Al-Ittihad winger Jota wants to move to the Premier League in the final days of the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that West Ham United, Everton and Newcastle United all are looking into a potential deal for the former Celtic star.
Jota joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the summer of 2023. The 24-year-old Portuguese winger has failed to make a massive impact at the Saudi Arabian club. He has scored one goal in five substitute appearances in the Saudi Pro League and has scored one goal in four AFC Champions League matches this season.
It will be interesting to see if Al-Ittihad sell Jota in the January transfer window. They paid £25 million to Celtic for the winger, so it will be a surprise…
A new year may bring fresh hope, but the same old problems were clear to see for Chelsea in their 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
A team seemingly stuck in transition and unable to fully adapt to the methods of head coach Graham Potter, Chelsea face a huge battle to even finish in the Premier League top four this season – their absolute minimum target.
Amid all the talk of a struggling attack (only eight other teams have scored fewer goals per game than Chelsea this season), and the need for further freshening up in other areas, the situation regarding the goalkeeping position has all of a sudden gone very quiet.
The opening of the transfer window in recent years, whether prior to the start of a new season or midway through, would lead to strong specul…
