West Ham ace Jarrod Bowen has shared an incredible exchange he shared with Said Benrahma just before the second-half kicked off last night, as quoted by WHUFC.com.

The Hammers earned a vital three points against Aston Villa at the London Stadium last night.
It wasn’t easy, and at times it was incredibly nervous to watch, especially when the Villans were laying siege to West Ham’s goal in the second-half.
We had some real luck with the visitors missing a penalty and having a late goal ruled out for offside by VAR.
David Moyes deserves huge credit, however, for making a bold double substitution at half-time.
Said Benrahma and Sebastien Haller replaced Arthur Masuaku and Michail Antonio.
The Algerian made an instant impact, setting up Jarrod Bowen to head home inside a minute of the restart.
And Bowen told WHUFC.com what Bernahma told him as they entered the field of play before the second-half last night:
“Said actually spoke when we walked out. He said: ‘When I come inside, I’m going to cross it so get on it’. I did that, off the shoulder or whatever it was and thankfully it went in.”
Benrahma looks like a player who could make a really big difference for us over the course of the next few seasons.
The Algerian surely has to start against Manchester United on Saturday. He possesses something different to what we currently have.
And Bowen for one will be over the moon if Benrahma is given the nod to start on Saturday.
