It’s going to be interesting to see how Julen Lopetegui fairs at the London Stadium, whilst Arne Slot has some huge shoes to fill at Liverpool given that Klopp won the lot at Anfield.
One of the areas that is going to make interesting viewing is the summer transfer market and what roads the new coaches go down.
But you could argue who does or doesn’t leave West Ham or Liverpool could be even more important.
One man that was discussed by former midfielder Michael Brown, departed West Ham coach Kevin Nolan and host Darren Fletcher was Mohamed Salah.
There has been transfer interest from Saudi Arabia for Salah and many are wondering if he will leave in the coming months.
Brown asked who Liverpool should replace the Egypt star with if he does depart and Nolan, only days after leaving West Ham, didn’t hesitate to name Jarrod Bowen.
He was mocked for suggesting the Euro 2024 hopeful because he has ‘changed his tune in about three days’ and how ‘football moves fast’, as he told BBC Radio 5 Live Sport.
Jarrod Bowen to replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool?
“Mo Salah, if you want me to condense it,” responded Brown on what Liverpool need to do next season. “If he goes out of the door. How would you replace him?”
Kevin Nolan responded in the background: “Jarrod Bowen.” To which host Darren Fletcher added: “Interesting Kev, Salah out and Bowen in.”
Brown also stated: “You have changed your tune in about three days, haven’t you, Kev?! Football moves on, doesn’t it?! Fast!” Fletcher added: “No Nolan and No Bowen at West Ham. You get rid of Kev, then Jarrod is going to. Love that. Kev is about to join the staff at Liverpool as well and taking Jarrod Bowen with him.”
Will West Ham United keep Jarrod Bowen?
The thing is, even the most ardent of West Ham fans will argue that Bowen should be playing European football, even in the Champions League.
He isn’t getting that at the London Stadium next season, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if certain teams across the Premier League start to knock on his door for his services.

You feel this is the chance to try and lure him away because the Irons currently are in a weak position.
But, of course, from West Ham’s perspective, they can’t be selling their big names if they want to return to Europe, especially with a new manager in town.
