Jarrod Bowen: First England call-up means 'everything' to West Ham forward

West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen says earning his first England call-up is a childhood dream come true.

Bowen scored 12 Premier League goals last season and was rewarded with a place in Gareth Southgate's squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures.

"It is everything," said the 25-year-old.

"It is everything you dream of when you're growing up and to get the call, obviously it is an honour and a privilege."

Bowen began his career in the National League with Hereford before moving to Hull in 2016 and eventually getting his Premier League chance with West Ham in January 2020.
