Jarrod Bowen was always expected to prove to be a cut above the rest in the Championship, and so it's proving.
The England international turned down numerous opportunities to stay in the Premier League following the Hammers' relegation in May, vowing to lead his boyhood club back to the big time instead.
Whilst his decision was questioned by many in the media at the time, his loyalty is duly being rewarded with Nuno Espirito Santo's men sstarting to really flex their muscle in the second tier.
Unsurprisingly, Bowen has been a key cog in the Nuno Espirito Santo wheel that has churned out four successive victories.
Having picked up just two points from their opening three Championship fixtures, the Londoners have since hit top gear, picking up 12 points in September alone.
Bowen has helped himself to six goal contributions in that time, scoring three times against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bolton Wanderers, before chipping in with another in the Hammers' 6-0 thrashing of Wrexham on Friday.
Whilst playing either out wide or as the floating 10, Bowen possesses the undoubted talent to go close in the golascoring stakes this term, as proven by his current price of 7/1 to end the campaign as the league's leading marksman.
