Jarrod Bowen has come up against a wide range of top players for club and country.
Having racked up 202 appearances for West Ham United and 10 senior caps for England, the winger has significant high-level experience under his belt.
Against Pep Guardiola’s side, the 27-year-old has played in eight Premier League games, losing six and drawing two but managing to score two goals against them.
Now though, with the Hammers star in the England squad for the 2024 European Championship, he has shared his thoughts on one particular City player he knows all about as an opponent and as a teammate.
Jarrod Bowen hails Kyle Walker as one of the best
In a recent video shared on the West Ham United YouTube channel, Bowen was asked to come up with a world XI made up of the best players he’s either played with or against throughout his career.
For the right-back position, the Englishman picked Kyle Walker and then said this about the City captain.
He said: “For me, one of the best ever right-backs, lots to his game. For me, it’d be him.”
Bowen isn’t the first player to praise Walker
Bowen has faced off against Walker, who City signed for £50m back in 2017, eight times in total, losing seven and drawing once.
As international teammates, the winger has played with Walker for England on five occasions, twice being in the current European Championship taking place in Germany.
The Hammers star isn’t the first top-flight player to praise the right-back and what he’s done in his career, as Ashley Young said last month that the 34-year-old is one of the best full-backs in Premier League history.
Having won a significant number of domestic trophies as well as three major European titles with City, it comes as no surprise to us that Bowen thinks so highly of Walker and what he’s done in his career.
