West Brom's eight-goal attacking star earns praise for different reason

Price, 23, is the in-form Baggies’ eight-goal top scorer and has chalked up three assists in an eye-catching individual start to the campaign.

The Albion star is away with Northern Ireland for the international break, where he is also a major attacking influence.

Head coach Morrison feels the former Everton youngster is thriving as a major player in Albion’s side, but he added the pressing, hard yards and dirty work Price brings are felt just as much.

“He keeps delivering,” Morrison said after Price’s stunning opener and late assist in Saturday’s win over Millwall. “We talked about his consistency at the start of the season and he just keeps delivering.

“It’s not just what he’s doing at the top end of the pitch, it’s what he does off the ball and for the team with his running.”

Price said in a recent interview he is thriving as an important member of Albion’s team and Morrison added: “It’s always nice and I think his performances make you feel like that.

“It’s up to me as a head coach to make the players be free, and not be thinking too much, because they are all good players.

“I think it was a period of time where he was finding his feet, now with the time he’s played here and the understanding, we speak and do a lot of work in the week with the technical side of it.

“He was someone who we picked out to try to develop. We saw his attributes with his physicality, but also the ability of his passing range.

“I talk a lot about how he can be a little bit sloppy, and if we tidied him up then there’s a very good player there.”
