Despite a poorer start to the season than was hoped under new boss Ryan Mason, West Bromwich Albion have found light in the emergence of Isaac Price, who has excelled so far this campaign.

The pressure has been mounting on Mason in recent weeks, with inconsistent results and subsequently disappointing league position leaving supporters wondering whether he is the right man to lead them forward.

Key departures in the summer such as Tom Fellows and Torbjorn Heggem left the Baggies significantly weaker, and it seems their summer business hasn't managed to plug the gaps in the squad, which will need to be rectified in January.

However, one player has shone above the rest thus far, and that man is Price. The midfielder had a storming start to the campaign, and has impressed on international duty with Northern Ireland.

With that in mind, it may not be long at all before Premier League clubs begin sniffing around the 22-year-old, as he looks to be a hugely talented player, with a high ceiling.

Isaac Price named West Brom's current best player, and given '8-figure' valuation

With January just around the corner, Football League World consulted their resident West Brom expert, Callum Burgess, to ask who has been his club's best player so far this season, and what valuation would you give them?

Callum responded: "It'd probably be Isaac Price, who is Albion's best player.

"He's had a bit of a tough run of games lately, but he's blistering start to the season and his form with Northern Ireland probably means that he'll have Premier League interest sooner rather than later.

"I wouldn't be surprised to see him go for a fee that's at least or more than the £8m we received for Tom Fellows, so you're probably looking at an eight-figure sum, I'd like to imagine.

"Even though we did only sign him for about £3m in January, it'll definitely need quite a big fee to get Price out of the Albion," he concluded.

West Brom will be seeing potential payday if Isaac Price continues impressing

Despite an overall poor start to the campaign, the Baggies certainly have a huge asset on their hands in Price, and will be keen to ensure he develops as much as possible at the club, in hopes of commanding a large transfer fee in the future.

His form with Northern Ireland will also play a massive part in catching the eye of potential suitors, as impressing for your country has proven time and time again to be an effective method of gaining more notoriety.

Price has fallen on tough times in recent weeks and hasn't enjoyed the same rich vein of form he started the season with, but that doesn't necessarily mean the young midfielder's progress has stagnated on a whole.

It will be interesting to see whether any clubs higher up the food chain opt to take a chance on the 22-year-old in January. If so, it will certainly take a rather sizeable price tag for West Brom to consider sanctioning a sale.
