West Ham striker Jarrod Bowen has paid tribute to manager David Moyes.

Moyes will leave West Ham after Sunday's clash with Manchester City.

"We've spoken about me scoring 20 goals and being awarded Player of the Season but they wouldn't have been possible without him [David Moyes] and if he didn't bring me to the Club," said Bowen to whufc.com.

I always go back to the time where he brought me into the Club, and having the faith to bring me in from the [EFL] Championship as players in that league were sometimes frowned upon. Since I've been here and worked with him over the last four and a half years, we've had some great games, great memories and came away with a European trophy as well.

"Today [Saturday] was about him and it's important we won the game [3-1 against Luton Town] and got him the send-off he deserved because what he has done for this Club is incredible. Since I've been here, he has kept us up, avoided relegation and has made us European winners within three years, so that speaks for itself. I don't think he will ever be forgotten here because of what he has done.

His door is always open for any player, and I think that is one of the best things about him. He's not just a football manager, but a person as well, and is one of the best people I have worked with. I've spoken with him already on a one-to-one level to thank him for everything he's done for me as I wanted him to know how appreciative I am of him and how I always will be for the rest of my career."
