West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has declared his fight to keep the club in the Premier League feels more intense than anyone else's, singling out Friday's clash with Wolves as a 'must-win' on Sky Sports. Bowen, who has spent six years at the London Stadium scoring 84 goals in 273 appearances, understands the stakes better than most. His team currently sits one point above the relegation zone with seven games remaining, making the upcoming fixture critical. 'It would mean the world,' Bowen stated, emphasizing the personal weight of the battle. 'In the situation that we're in, it hurts me probably more than anyone else.' The emotional weight stems partly from a recent 3-0 defeat at Wolves, which Bowen described as 'embarrassing' and his 'worst day in football.' He also highlighted the squad's resilience after a dramatic FA Cup quarter-final loss to Leeds where they scored twice in stoppage time before losing on penalties. 'We never want to be that team,' he said, praising the group's spirit.

With the pressure mounting, Bowen insists the focus is solely on securing three points against Nuno Espirito Santo's side, where West Ham have a chance to climb out of the bottom three and pile pressure on rivals. 'We have to win the game,' he stressed, rejecting any reliance on other results. 'That's the most important thing.'.
