Bowen is reportedly interesting Fulham and Cardiff City.
Jarrod Bowen is reportedly a £5million target for both Fulham and Cardiff City after an excellent first half to the Championship season with Hull City – but Celtic cannot let such an opportunity go to waste.
Still only 21 years of age, Bowen has scored six goals and created three more in assists during his 21 Championship appearances. That is in a side that have managed just 21 league goals all season.
The Sun claim both newly-promoted Premier League sides Fulham and Cardiff want the attacker, who is naturally a winger but can also play up front and has also been known to play in the number 10 role.
But Brendan Rodgers will surely have noticed Bowen’s progress at Hull, and at £5million, he is certainly worth the gamble as he epitomises everything Rodgers wants in a potential signing.
Bowen now has 73 senior appearances for Hull under his belt, but at 21, he still has plenty of time to improve. An eye for goal, explosive pace, trickery and flair are all traits of the winger – who turns 22 on December 20.
Under Rodgers, Celtic play a fast-paced attacking style of football with plenty of flair and creativity and that is something that would suit the improving Bowen down to a tee.
The Hoops do not have bundles of cash to spend, but Rodgers needs a winger. Jonny Hayes, Lewis Morgan and Mikey Johnstone remain on the periphery, while Scott Sinclair is yet to replicate his 2016-17 form.
Bringing in a player such as Bowen, who is already shining at Championship level, would be an excellent signing – and he would finally soften the loss of Patrick Roberts. All for just £5million – a must-buy in January.
