'He has to': Isaac Price view as West Brom star continues form at international level

Price, who arrived at Albion in January, starred for his country during the latest round of international fixtures, and netted an impressive winner in his side's victory over Ireland earlier this week.

He commented on the freedom he has been given by his manager Michael O'Neil, and how it has helped him to become the youngest Northern Ireland player to reach nine senior goals.

He is set to return to Albion pre-season training in coming weeks - and will no doubt be a massive player for the Baggies next season.

But there is still a big question mark over what Price's best position is.

This is down to the fact he has shown a string of top attributes that have allowed him to play in number of positions for Albion - despite only being at the club for a handful of months.

He came to the club as a central midfielder and has operated there, while also excelling as a right wing back.

And he has also impressed playing as the number ten, in behind a front man.

Arguably, that is where he has put on his best performances and is a big reason why Ryan Mason should be looking to almost build his front line around Price for next season.

He still has the likes of Tom Fellows and Mikey Johnston at his disposal out wide - while Daryl Dike and Josh Maja are set to be the two centre forwards heading into the new campaign.

But Price could be hugely key to how Albion set up next season.

In just a short time, he showed how well he can operate as an attacking midfielder and a number ten, threading passes, finding space and linking up play.

He arguably did just as much if not more than both Grady Diangana and John Swift did last season. They were two players who could also operate in those positions.

But he offers more than what they do. His energy and work rate, his impressive displays in pressing from the front while also having a huge engine to track back and drop in when required give Price so many all round attributes.

However, his attacking quality, certainly his goalscoring exploits at international level, show playing him further back on the field would waste his attacking talent.

Mason will have ideas for his front line and potential new signings that could fill that number ten void - but Price has shown he is more than good enough to be Albion's playmaker in chief for next season.
