West Ham sealed the big-money signing of free-scoring Hull forward Jarrod Bowen close to the tranfser deadline.

Bowen has moved to Upton Park on a five-and-a-half-year contract for a fee understood to be around £20m.

Hammers boss David Moyes was desperate to add some firepower to his relegation-threatened side, and is reported to have beaten Crystal Palace to the 23-year-old’s signature.

Moyes told the club website: “When you score goals like he does, and in the numbers he does, in the Championship, it will give you a great chance of scoring goals in the Premier League.”
