Frontman Bowen has again been tearing it up in the Championship, scoring 10 goals in 17.

Steve Bruce is a massive fan and could push for a deal, with the striker’s deal up in 2020.

McCann said: “He’s the best in the league. He’s top, top drawer. Anywhere he plays, he’ll have an impact on the game. He’s the best.”
