After defeating a La Liga team to recruit their newest player, West Bromwich Albion appears to have won the competition and are aiming for a far better year than the previous one.

James Morrison saved the day and kept the Baggies afloat last season as West Brom ended only one spot above the relegation zone.

Following the contract expirations of players like Daryl Dyke, Josh Maja, Jed Wallace, and Karlan Grant, the Scot has taken on the permanent position of head coach at The Hawthorns and has been aggressively seeking reinforcements in the transfer market.

Carter Pinnington, Barney Stewart, Jimmy-Jay Morgan, Conor Townsend, and Nolan Galves are all newcomers to the Black Country this summer, and another one might arrive sooner rather than later.

Felix Horn Myhre, a midfielder for SK Brann, was won by West Bromwich Albion after they defeated Elche.

Felix Horn Myhre, a midfielder for SK Brann, has successfully repelled interest from Elche, a Spanish top-flight team, according to Norwegian tabloid BA.

In 179 appearances in all competitions, Horn Myhre, 27, has scored 32 goals and provided 39 assists while playing for Brann. He has also earned seven caps for the Norwegian national team, scoring twice.

According to BA, Horn Myhre, who just missed out on a spot in Norway’s squad for the most recent World Cup, will cost West Brom about £3.1 million.

The Baggies, who previously had success in the Scandinavian market with players like Torbjorn Heggem and Aune Heggebo, are hoping to bring Horn Myhre and Heggebo back to the Black Country after they were colleagues at SK Brann.

Although that’s not a small sum for West Brom to part with, fans will undoubtedly be thrilled about it.

Felix Horn Myhre will provide James Morrison an additional midfield option at West Bromwich Albion.

When Horn Myhre arrives, West Brom’s midfield will have an additional option, giving players like Alex Mowatt, Ousmane Diakite, Jayson Molumby, and Isaac Price competition in the middle of the field.

Although he isn’t exactly a like-for-like replacement, Molumby has recently attracted interest from Championship heavyweights Wrexham, and if the Irish international is headed out, it might open a spot for the Norwegian.

The 27-year-old will contribute some much-needed inventiveness and attacking intelligence from that part of the field. He has shown himself to be a consistent goal and creative danger from the midfield.
