James Morrison tips West Brom star Isaac Price for Premier League future | OneFootball

James Morrison believes Isaac Price has the attributes to reach the Premier League after the West Brom attacker’s flying start, even joking about the 22-year-old’s height and looks.

Price hit braces in back-to-back matches against Burnley and Newcastle this week, and Morrison quipped Albion had hoped to keep him under the radar at St James’ Park. According to ExpressAndStar.com, the club are in talks over a new long-term contract for the Northern Irishman.

Asked on Friday if Price can play Premier League football, Morrison said he does. He highlighted steady improvement in recent months, a clearer role and growing responsibility, and said the aim is for that progress to continue for the club.

Price scored nine goals last season in his first full campaign at The Hawthorns, recovering from setbacks to shine as Albion secured Championship safety under Morrison. The low point came with a tetchy exchange with away fans after a 3-0 defeat at Portsmouth in January under Eric Ramsay. Signed from Everton for £2.5 million in January 2025, he has been challenged to surpass last season’s tally and has already started strongly.

Morrison values Price’s work without the ball and reliability as much as his technique, while stressing the need to stay focused. Strong pre-season showings and a positive group dynamic are viewed as helping the left-sided attacker enjoy his football.
