The forward will be looking to make an impact for the Three Lions in the Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland during this international window and is excited by the work Carsley has done on the training ground so far.

Bowen told Standard Sport: "He's earned the opportunity to be here with what he's done with the Under-21s.

"It's only been a couple of days, but the training we've done has been good. It's been exciting: a new manager, new structures, new ways, new beliefs. And it's a team that wants to win.

"It's down to the games now, we have to go out and perform. It will be a difficult game against Ireland. The Aviva (Stadium) will be a sell-out."

Bowen got his first taste of a major tournament with England in the summer as he was involved in the Euro 2024 squad, although he was disappointed to be restricted to only two substitute appearances.

The West Ham captain said: "If I sat here and said I was happy not playing... every player wants to play every minute.

"But those minutes I did play, I'll always hold them with me. It's something no one can take away from me, playing at a major tournament for my country.

"I don't see it as a negative. I see it as a really good experience I learned a lot from."

Bowen revealed that he was determined to build on his Euros exploits by making a strong start to the season at club level.

He said: "I would never want to take my feet off the gas, I always want to impress and do more.

"That started as soon as the Euros ended, going back to pre-season, making sure I'm in good shape, making sure I got my body right and had rested enough. And then, when the season starts, just keep performing. I feel like I've done that in the first few games. As a player, that's all you can do."
