Isaac Price is starting to find his feet at West Bromwich Albion.

The 21-year-old, who arrived in a €3 million deal from Belgian side Standard Liege in January, has started three of the last four games and contributed his first Baggies assist last Saturday against Oxford United, setting up Alex Mowatt's opener.

After spending a season and a half playing in the Belgian top division, many Albion fans were expecting there to be a teething process as the Northern Ireland international got back to the pace of the English game.

He seems to be proving that a starring role in a play-off chasing side isn't one too big for him though, and it's becoming abundantly clear that the Price is right for West Brom.

Isaac Price is who West Brom have been missing

We asked FLW's West Brom fan pundit, Callum Burgess, about what he has made of new signing Isaac Price so far in an Albion shirt.

Callum was quick to sing his praises, saying: "From his first appearance against Portsmouth, you could tell that Isaac Price had tons of ability with the ball at his feet.

"Whilst there might be some issues of inconsistency as he gets back to grips with English football, his ability on the ball is there - shown especially in Albion's opener against Oxford on Saturday.

"Someone who has that quality final ball is what we've been missing this season, and maybe even the season before that. He's definitely someone that fans are excited about."

Price is a sign of good January business which can give West Brom play-off confidence

Callum believes that the relatively low fee to pry Price away from Standard Liege will turn into a "great bit of business".

"He's got a great set-piece delivery which will get him loads of assists as an Albion player, and I think he can get better and better by playing him week in, week out," he said.

Price wasn't the only January arrival who got involved in the goals against Oxford United after Tammer Bany came on late to assist John Swift in putting the game beyond doubt.

Alongside the loan signings of Adam Armstrong and Will Lankshear, West Brom have been ruthless in the recent January transfer window as they look to secure a place in the play-offs for a second successive season.

And at just 21 years old, the arrival of Price looks to be one which West Brom fans will look to see real improvement from and, if his first month in an Albion shirt is anything to go by, it looks promising for Price at the Hawthorns.
