Jarrod Bowen is on the road to a West Ham statue, according to David Moyes, who on Friday provided a positive update on his two strikers whose knees were injured in the international break.<\/p>\n
Bowen faces a late fitness test ahead of Burnley on Saturday after leaving the England camp prematurely, while Moyes said Michail Antonio should only be sidelined for two weeks following his Jamaica withdrawal.<\/p>\n
Bowen won himself a new seven-year contract after scoring the winner in West Ham’s Europa Conference League victory in June. Moyes believes he is well on his way to becoming a club legend – if he is not one already for that historic strike in Prague.<\/p>\n
‘He’s taken up the mantle here,’ Moyes said of the 26-year-old who has scored in all six of West Ham’s Premier League away games this season. ‘He’ll always be remembered for that goal, no matter what happens.<\/p>\n
‘If he’s here for another seven years then hopefully he might have a statue by the end of it for the goals he scores here. If he can continue to do as well as he’s doing, why should he not look forward to being a legend at this club?<\/p>\n

David Moyes believes Jarrod Bowen is on his way to a West Ham statue for his performances<\/p>\n

‘There have been some unbelievable names connected to West Ham and he’s got a chance of becoming one – if he’s not already one. I’m pushing him to keep his goals up and I want him to keep getting recognised by England..’<\/p>\n
Bowen is looking to become the first West Ham forward to score 20-plus goals in all competitions since Marlon Harewood in 2004-05. He is being transitioned from winger to striker, though if not available on Saturday, Moyes may need to hand Danny Ings his first Premier League start of the season against his former club.<\/p>\n
