Northern Ireland international Isaac Price says he’s hungry to deliver for West Brom after joining the Championship side for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old has brought his spell in Belgium with Standard Liège to an end and agreed a four-and-a-half year contract at The Hawthorns.
Price has scored six goals in 18 games for Northern Ireland and he now follows the path of Chris Brunt, Gareth McAuley, Paddy McNair, Jonny Evans and Chris Baird in representing the club.
He made 22 League appearances in Belgium, starting a 2-1 victory at Sint-Truiden on Sunday.
The former Everton youngster joins the club ahead of Tony Mowbray’s first home game of his second spell at the helm.
Price said: “I am over the moon to be here and I’m really excited to get started.
“It’s a great opportunity for me to show the manager what I can do and I think I’m going into it like all the other players are. Everyone will be trying to show him what they can do, even though the other lads have been here longer than me.
“He’ll get his first impression of me from training. I’m looking forward to meeting him and all the players and getting down to work.
“I’d say I’m a box-to-box midfielder. I like to get involved in the attacking play, but scoring more goals is an area I’d like to improve. I like defending as well. I love getting back and making tackles.”
Sporting director Andrew Nestor told the club’s website: “Isaac is a bright, young player whose dynamic midfield play continues our commitment to develop a more youthful, attack-minded style.
“He is a player we rate highly having been watching him as far back as last summer.
“At just 21, Isaac already has good top-level experience and I’m pleased we have secured his services permanently on a long-term contract.”
Price helped Northern Ireland top their Nations League group and followed in the footsteps of the iconic George Best by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory at Windsor Park.
His treble in October’s battering of Bulgaria was 53 years on from Manchester United legend Best doing it against Cyprus.
