West Brom handed £3.1m boost following James Morrison’s latest update

West Brom’s £3.1m signing Felix Horn Myhre is proving to be a bargain under James Morrison

West Bromwich Albion appear to have struck gold with the signing of Felix Horn Myhre, whose impressive start at The Hawthorns has helped transform James Morrison’s side into genuine Championship promotion contenders.

The Baggies head into the international break sitting fifth in the table after an impressive 3-0 victory over Millwall, extending their unbeaten run to six matches.

It has been a remarkable turnaround for Morrison, who has overseen a significant improvement in West Brom’s fortunes since taking charge.

The Scottish manager wasted little time reshaping his squad during the summer transfer window, allowing several established players to leave while bringing in fresh faces to strengthen his options.

Among the new arrivals, Horn Myhre has arguably made the biggest impression.

The Norwegian midfielder arrived from SK Brann in a deal worth up to £3.1 million, despite attracting interest from Spanish side Elche.

Having spent his entire professional career in Norway, the 27-year-old faced the challenge of adapting to English football. However, he has settled remarkably quickly.

Horn Myhre has registered three goals and two assists in 12 Championship appearances, including nine starts, while demonstrating his versatility across several attacking positions.

His performances have made him an increasingly important figure in Morrison’s plans, with the midfielder developing an encouraging understanding with players such as Isaac Price, Aune Heggebo and Jimmy-Jay Morgan.

West Brom will undoubtedly be delighted with the early returns on their investment.

A potential fee of £3.1 million looks increasingly reasonable given his contribution, and his performances could prove crucial if the Baggies maintain their promotion challenge.

The international break arrives with West Brom enjoying considerable momentum, having beaten Wrexham, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United and Millwall during their six-game unbeaten run.

However, Morrison will know that maintaining those standards after the break will be essential.

Difficult away fixtures against Swansea City and Bolton Wanderers await, and Horn Myhre will once again be expected to play a significant role.

If the Norwegian can maintain his impressive form, West Brom may have secured one of the Championship’s standout summer bargains.
