The 25-year-old Morocco international has made four appearances in the Barclays Premier League, all as a substitute, for Liverpool since joining them from Dutch side Heerenveen a year ago.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's Capital One Cup second-round home tie against Walsall, Bowen said: "As far as I'm aware he (Assaidi) is talking with our medical team, but that is all I'm aware of at the moment.
"We are hopeful. He is a very good player and coveted by a number of clubs I think, so we would be hopeful of bringing in a player of his quality.
"He is a pacey player and a direct player, and a talented young player as well to go with it.
"But as far as I'm aware at this moment in time, he is still a Liverpool player, so I will leave it at that."
