At 29 this summer represents his best, and potentially last, chance of playing at a World Cup.He really is the governor, gushes father-in-law Dyer, speaking to FourFourTwo while promoting his latest film One Last Deal in which he plays a football agent Jimmy Banks. I just pray that that man can keep us up.Dyer insists that he puts no pressure on the forward, admitting that Bowen doesnt discuss football that much when he is with family, and that he barely watches his performances back on TV.It's his career, and he loves the club. He did sign for six years, and he totally wants to commit to that, but of course, if we do go down and there's a very good chance we willGet FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.Dyer fails to complete the sentence, almost as if doing so will manifest in his beloved Hammers slipping out of the Premier League, with his son-in-law realistically having to leave to continue playing at the level his talent matches.He needs to get on that plane, implores Dyer. There's no reason why he shouldnt. OK, he hasn't scored in the last couple of games, but hes scored more goals than Saka and Madueke this season.Get VIP England tickets HERE with Seat Unique!England games are a rite of passage for any match-going fan and unsurprisingly, hospitality tickets for the national side are amongst the very best in the country with pre-match lounge access, premium padded seats, quality dining and complimentary drinks.

I don't understand why the bias! Saka looks great on the ball and silky he doesn't do anything. Jarrod has got us out of trouble so many times. This man can lift a whole team. He's better on both feet, better in the air What to read next Ill stay out of Liams international future unless he ever wants my advice then Ill give it to him and him only Rory Delap on the guidance he gives his son Liam Manchester United trio back in England World Cup reckoning England defender rules himself out of World Cup squad This will probably be his last chance to play in a World Cup, considering he's nearly 30. Lets hope he keeps us up, gets on the plane and has an amazing World Cup and gets to start a game, because I tell you, the man will damage any team.That last wish is a reference to Euro 2024 where Bowen made Gareth Southgates squad but was used sparingly, despite the Three Lions making it all the way to the final. Dyer, not known for mincing his words, doesnt hold back on his criticism of the way Englands last manager handled Bowen.We went to the Euro final against Spain, flew out there, and he never got on the f**king pitch, a lot of players didn't Southgate f**ked it yet again. It was weird because I was sitting with a lot of the other families, they've all got their shirts on and with their names on the back he didn't bring any f**ker on, really.He brought Cole Palmer on of course, he got the equaliser, but he just didn't do anything. It's really, really frustrating. There was a bit of a party later on in case we won it in the players' hotel and I didn't end up going in the end because it wouldve been like a f**king wake in there.I think that man is so underrated and that's not just me being biased, this geezers got everything.Not only is Dyer correct in the fact Bowen has scored more goals than both Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke, but the West Ham captain has more goals and assists than any other English player in the Premier League this season. But Englands right-wing option list is stacked with suitors.As well as Saka and Madueke, Phil Foden and the recently drafted Harvey Barnes will have designs on the role. England play Uruguay this evening, with Japan coming to Wembley on Tuesday. Any minutes Bowen gets on the pitch will have to be made to count if he is to fulfil his and his famous father-in-laws wish.One Last Deal is in Cinemas now and available on Sky in JuneTOPICSWest Ham UnitedEnglandPremier LeagueWorld Cup 2026Euro 2024Matthew KetchellSocial Links NavigationDeputy EditorA former goalkeeper, Ketch joined FourFourTwo as Deputy Editor in 2022 having worked across ChronicleLive, LeedsLive, Hull Daily Mail, YorkshireLive, Teesside Gazette and the Huddersfield Examiner as a Northern Football Editor.
