🎯🎯“Although I scored the most beautiful header against Arsenal but that particular defender gave me a restless match and I’ll never forget him even in a hurry, he’s their best defender and he’s better than Saliba”: West Ham United’s striker Bowen names ONE defender who made him restless yesterday. ISAK AND HAALAND SAID THIS SAME THING.

West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen Names Arsenal Defender Who Gave Him a “Restless” Match — Even Better Than Saliba?

In a post-match press conference that has stirred plenty of conversation, West Ham United’s star forward Jarrod Bowen opened up about his intense battle against Arsenal’s defense during yesterday’s match. Despite scoring what he called “the most beautiful header” against the Gunners, Bowen admitted there was one Arsenal defender who truly made his night difficult — even suggesting this player outshone the highly-rated William Saliba.

“Although I scored the most beautiful header against Arsenal, that particular defender gave me a restless match and I’ll never forget him even in a hurry. He’s their best defender, and he’s better than Saliba,” Bowen revealed.

While Bowen stopped short of naming the defender directly in the initial comment, speculation quickly spread among fans and pundits alike. Could he be referring to Gabriel Magalhães, who has been in stellar form this season, or perhaps even the versatile Ben White?

Adding fuel to the debate, it’s worth noting that both Alexander Isak (Newcastle United) and Erling Haaland (Manchester City) have previously echoed similar sentiments about this mystery Arsenal defender. The fact that three of the Premier League’s top strikers have all highlighted the same player suggests Arsenal may have an underrated defensive gem on their hands.

Social media has been abuzz with debates, with some fans suggesting that Gabriel deserves more recognition, while others argue that Saliba still remains the backbone of Arsenal’s defense. Bowen’s praise, however, is a testament to the growing strength of Mikel Arteta’s backline, which has been one of the key reasons Arsenal remains in the title race this season.

For West Ham fans, Bowen’s comments highlight the relentless fight he brings to big games, managing to score even when up against top-tier defenders. As for Arsenal, this praise might just be the confidence boost their defensive unit needs heading into the crucial stages of the Premier League campaign.

The next time West Ham and Arsenal clash, all eyes will surely be on the defensive battle — and perhaps we’ll get confirmation of who exactly gave Bowen such a restless night
