Who is Felix Horn Myhre and what can he bring to West Brom?

Norway international Myhre, 27, travelled to England on Monday to undergo a medical at The Hawthorns in a deal reported to be worth around £3.1million from SK Brann.

Myhre’s addition has caused excitement among the Albion faithful, with the prospective capture of the Norway international carrying the potential to be one of the most influential deals of owners Bilkul’s two-and-a-half years at the helm.

We caught up with sports journalist Julie Sætre, of Bergan newspaper Bergensavisen who cover the goings on at Brann Stadion, to hear about what the creative midfielder could bring to Albion.

How would you describe Myhre as a midfielder?

JS: “He’s an attack-minded midfielder. Sort of like a number 10, as we would say here, but he plays as one of two in Brann because it is a high-pressure attacking team.

“Felix is creative and attack-minded. He has a really good football IQ.

“He is very technical and versatile.

“He is really, really good in tight spaces. He's really good in possession, keeping possession under pressure. Really good in the opponent's box, too.”

His attacking stats are impressive - he clearly likes to join in the attack?

JS: “He is often involved in goals - and he has a couple of amazing goals as well.

“I remember a goal, I think it was last year, it was an incredible bicycle kick. That was amazing.

“He is maybe not the one that scores the most often, but he he is always involved in attacking, which is why it's quite sad for Brann to lose him.

“But in each window now, people have been expecting this to happen.

“So I think people just have to see that it's going to happen now. He’s loved by the fans and without doubt because he is the best player Brann has, so he will be a very big loss.

“We rate players at the end of each season, the average player ratings, and he always has the highest rating.”

Myhre seems to be a very technical player, how do you think he will manage the switch to English football?

JS: “He is a more technical player, but he has done well for his country and games in the Europa League and Conference League.

“He has, even though he's not like the biggest or the one with the most muscles, he plays like an engine.

“He has a really high intensity. He has been working with several coaches that likes to keep the intensity really high.

“And again, he has always been the best player to adapt to that. I did say this about Aune Heggebo as well, but I do think that the Championship will be a good match for him.

“He always plays the full matches. He always starts the matches. He's just such an important player.”

His friendship with Aune Heggebo must’ve helped with this move? And how is Myhre as a character?

JS: “They played together for quite some many years and had some success together, so I would think so. And Felix said he called Aune to ask about the move.

“In Bergen, he is really liked by the fans. But if you are a very good football player, I guess you are liked by the fans! He is 27 and has been linked abroad for many years now, so he is liked for staying.

“In the media, we do like to speak to him. But he is also - and I am going to be honest with you - a little bit boring!

“He doesn't give you the headlines, or too many lines. He is really focused on the football.

“If you ask him a question about the match, he will continue for four minutes straight about the match. And not talk too much about feelings or anything else. He is just really focused on the football.”
