Shilen Patel rubbing his hands together after Jimmy-Jay Morgan's new EFL reveal
Jimmy-Jay Morgan is quickly starting to look like the bargain signing of the summer from West Bromwich Albion.
Albion managed to secure the 20-year-old on a permanent deal from Chelsea for an upfront fee of £1.3million.
While the Baggies could pay the West London club £4m in total if further add-ons are paid out, they won't care if the striker keeps his form up.
Morgan grabbed another goal involvement in a 1-0 win against Derby County on Wednesday, a victory that saw James Morrison's men break a 23-year curse at Pride Park.
Aune Heggebo swept in after a cross from his strike partner, and the Black Country Club look to have one of the best forward pairings in the Championship.
Morgan will already be increasing his stock at West Brom by the minute, especially after the latest EFL reveal.
Jimmy-Jay Morgan leads the way in new EFL reveal
Morgan grabbed the assist for Heggebo's goal, picking up the pieces after Callum Styles went down, drilling a perfect ball to the near post for his strike partner to smash home.
The Baggies currently sit top of the Championship with 13 points from their first six games of the season, and it's largely thanks to their in-form frontline.
Morgan now has eight goal contributions in as many games in all competitions, and leads the way in the EFL.
As highlighted by Not The Top 20 Pod on X, no player in England's top four leagues has more goal involvements than the Englishman this season.
He currently has the most involvements in the Championship with six - a total of three goals and three assists in the league.
Considering Shilen Patel only splashed £1.3m on the forward this summer, he may already be rubbing his hands together after Albion's recent financial woes.
Why Jimmy-Jay Morgan is primed to be West Brom's next big sale
Morgan is thankfully tied down to a long-term contract, and already emerges as one of the club's best assets.
The striker has age on his side, and the fact that he's English also puts a premium on any future sale.
Of course, West Brom will be hoping for Morgan to stay for several seasons to come, and he could always lose his touch in front of goal, but if he carries this on, he will easily be worth more than £10m.
Albion have been known to sell their biggest young assets in recent years, so Baggies fans should not be surprised if Patel and Co. have to cave in in the not-so-distant future.
