West Brom ace matches incredible George Best record on international duty
West Brom fans have been able to watch many of their stars in action this week during the international break.
The Nations League and World Cup qualifiers have been taking place, as well as friendlies.
Multiple West Brom stars have been called up for the games.
One such star was Tom Fellows, who was subjected to a bizarre England Under 21s call-up.
For many Baggies players, this will be seen as an opportunity to prove their worth to Ryan Mason early on the international stage.
Isaac Price hits Best’s goal record after winner for Northern Ireland
One of West Brom’s stars who is currently out on international duty is Isaac Price.
The midfielder joined the Baggies in January and has had a steady start to life at The Hawthorns.
Price is believed to have plenty of potential and could be a highly important player for Mason next season.
On Tuesday, the 21-year-old once again showed the ability he possesses as he netted the winner for Northern Ireland in their 1-0 victory over Iceland despite being down to 10 men.
It was a fantastic finish from the midfielder as he picked up the ball on the edge of the box before curling it into the far corner of the net.
This now means that Price has netted nine times in 21 caps for Northern Ireland, a highly impressive record.
According to BBC Sport’s Jonathan Bradley (10 June), the goal takes the 21-year-old level with a number of legends from the Irish side, including George Best, who also scored nine times for his country.
Price has now moved up to the joint 13th highest scorer in Northern Ireland’s history despite his young age.
Mason needs to find a regular role for Price next season
Price has all the makings of a fantastic player. The midfielder’s awareness is brilliant, and the fact that he can find the net makes him a valuable asset.
Next season, Mason has to find a role for the 21-year-old to make sure he is given regular game time.

West Brom would be fools not to play Price, especially as it is so clear that he could become a top player.
Hopefully, the midfielder can continue his form into pre-season and show Mason exactly why he should be one of the first names on the team sheet.
