West Brom set to sign Felix Horn Myhre: Fee revealed as wage battle won
West Bromwich Albion have won the race to sign SK Brann midfielder, Felix Horn Myhre.
James Morrison refused to comment on possible new transfers during pre-season, which ended with a bang on Saturday.
The Baggies picked up yet another win, with a 2-0 victory over Peterborough United on the road.
Aune Heggebo got on the scoresheet again, and he looks set to be joined by a compatriot within days at The Hawthorns.
West Brom News has heavily covered Myhre's impending transfer, and the final details appear to have been ironed out.
Myhre looks set to be available to make his debut against Rotherham in the Carabao Cup on 8 August, too.
What will West Brom pay to sign Felix Horn Myhre?
It will be yet another hefty fee, with Bilkul Football backing Morrison heavily in the market.
BA has reported that West Brom will pay up to £3.1million to sign Myhre, who had interest from around Europe.
The Norweigian outlet reports that La Liga side Elche were also in the race.
But, West Brom were able to offer a "significantly larger salary package" to get a deal over the line.
Why do West Brom want Felix Horn Myhre?
It's very simple, midfield was an area that they were seriously lacking in last season in the Championship.
Alex Mowatt, Ousmane Diakite and Jayson Molumby were the senior options available, but much more was needed.
All three have their individual skills, but are lacking somewhere else, with Mowatt better on the ball than the others, but worse defensively.
What's great about this transfer, is that Myhre is already in the middle of a Norweigian league season, so is raring to go.
The 27-year-old has made 14 league appearances, as well as featuring in Conference League qualifiers.
So, Morrison will be getting a player on top of his game for the new Championship season around the corner.
Myhre is an all-action midfielder, completing 90 minutes in all of his appearances so far in Norway this season.
Scoring twice, as well as recovering possession nearly four times per appearance, he will quickly adapt to English football.
With a fee and his wages now seemingly sorted, all roads are leading to this transfer being finalised very quickly.
