Jarrod Bowen has been told to focus on improving with West Ham United as he continues to be linked with a transfer to Liverpool.
Bowen has taken his game to the next level since his arrival from Hull City in January 2020 and helped West Ham qualify for the UEFA Europa League last season.
Bowen has continued his fine form this season and has seen his name linked with a big-money moves to a number of clubs, most notably Liverpool.
There was no movement from the Merseyside club in the January transfer window, which closed on Monday.

Instead, the Reds focused their attention on signing Luis Diaz, who completed his move from Porto on deadline day, and Fabio Carvalho, who remains at Fulham after the clubs were unable to get a deal over the line.
But Liverpool are understood to remain admirers of Bowen.
And ex-Reds and West Ham defender Glen Johnson has told the 25-year-old what he must do if he is to get a transfer to Anfield.
“I think he’s done well," Johnson told West Ham World, courtesy of Squawka .
“I think he’s still, not learning the game, but I think there are still areas that he needs to improve on. He works his socks off so I’m sure he will only improve.
“And, obviously, good luck to him that if you get those names showing interest, then he’s obviously doing something right.
“But at the moment, I think if he can just focus on West Ham, concentrate on trying to push for that fourth position and chip in with a few more goals and assists then he might have a few big clubs coming in the summer.
“But for now, I just think he needs to focus on the team.”
Bowen has started 2022 in red-hot form, scoring four goals in five games across the Premier League and FA Cup.
Liverpool will be able to get a first-hand look at the attacker at the start of March when West Ham travel to Anfield in the league.
