Horn Myhre key as West Brom eye promotion

West Bromwich Albion head into the international break on a high, having comfortably defeated Millwall at The Hawthorns 3-0, as James Morrison's side set their sights firmly on the automatic promotion places. The Baggies sit in fifth place in the 2026/27 Championship campaign, level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers and one point off Birmingham City, Middlesbrough, and Stoke City.

Morrison has turned the club from relegation candidates to promotion contenders, stamping his authority on the squad in the summer with a significant turnover of players. Among the new arrivals, Felix Horn Myhre has quickly become a fan favourite and an integral part of Morrison's plans.

Horn Myhre, 27, spent his entire professional career in his native Norway before his move to England, playing for clubs including Bodo/Glimt, Valerenga, and SK Brann, and earning seven caps for the national team. West Brom won the tug of war for his signature, agreeing a fee worth a potential £3.1 million with Brann.

In 12 Championship appearances, with nine starts, the Norwegian has scored three goals and provided two assists, filling in across attacking midfield, left midfield, and centre-forward. Alongside Isaac Price, Aune Heggebo, and Jimmy-Jay Morgan, Horn Myhre has emerged as a key figure in the final third.

With the Baggies on a six-game unbeaten run and tough away trips to Swansea City and Bolton Wanderers after the international break, Morrison will look to his Norwegian star to lead the way.
