West Ham’s new skipper
Jarrod Bowen has been appointed as West Ham’s new captain.
Bowen has taken the armband from Kurt Zouma who looks set to depart the club for Saudi Arabia.
The 27-year-old will be leading the Hammers out throughout the campaign, with Aaron Cresswell his vice-captain.
Speaking about being named skipper, the England international said: “I am incredibly proud and happy to be West Ham United captain.
“We’ve had many great moments here as a Club. I’ve been here four-and-a-half years now, so to be named Club captain is a really proud moment and one that I’ll wear with great honour.
“It’s four and a half years since I joined, but it’s felt so much longer and that’s the enjoyment of playing for this Club and the relationships I’ve had with all the sets of players we’ve had, the managers we’ve had and the fans.
“It’s been one heck of a journey and from when I first signed to be sat here four-and-a-half years later and be named Club captain makes me so proud.
“Since I’ve been here it’s just been an upward trajectory in what we’ve done on the pitch, what I’ve done off the pitch.
“To get to this moment is another statement of love I have for this Club, along with when I signed my new deal last year. I said then that I want to stay here for the rest of my life and I haven’t come off that page.
“If I can go down as a legend here in years to come, that would be great.”
