West Brom promotion hero with January transfer message for Baggies star

Two-time Albion promotion hero Paul Robinson has called on Isaac Price to ignore January interest and help the club push for a Premier League return.

Eight-goal Hawthorns top scorer Price is in flying form and his match-winning displays are sure to catch the interest of impressed top flight outfits.

The 23-year-old is in his second full season at the club after a £2.5million switch from Standard Liege in January 2025. He is already just one goal shy of his haul from last term.

Former Baggies left-back Robinson, during his weekly guest slot on the Express & Star’s Baggies Broadcast podcast, wants to see Northern Ireland star Price help James Morrison’s team push for promotion.

“I think that’s key - to see where West Brom are at the end of the season,” Robinson said.

“Him moving on now in January would be a mistake for me. See the season out, grow yourself as a player and try to get West Brom back to the Premier League.

“What’s the point of going to be a squad player at a Brentford or Brighton?

“He should be feeling in himself ‘I should be playing week in, week out’. What he is showing on the pitch, I want to see him continuing to develop as a footballer.

“He’d be no good going to sit on someone’s bench because he’d be a wasted talent doing that.”

Price is contracted at The Hawthorns until 2029 and it is understood improved deal talks have previously taken place.

Robinson wants to see Albion to continue to build under Morrison. The club boast a young squad and the former defender is keen to see it develop.

He added that players with the quality of Price can be a draw for targets in the transfer market.

“For a player that could possibly come in the January transfer window they would be excited to play with players like Isaac Price,” he added.

“That’s the dream for Mozza. Mozza’s creating an atmosphere now for players looking in from the outside who will look at it and go ‘I like that, that’s an exciting team, I want to play with Price, JJ (Morgan) and Jayson Molumby’.

“That’s a big pull, to go to a team playing so well at the point in time.

“For me it’s about keeping the best players available. The game has changed so much. Players are only staying at clubs for two years now, it’s not enough.

“For stability to move forward as a club. In our era - I was there for seven years - there’s longevity to go on as a club, stability and togetherness that kept us all there for a reason.

“Eventually you move on because things change. But players now move after two years, going pillar to post, I’d like Mozza to build over four and five years and see where it takes the club.”
