West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to land the signing of Felix Horn Myhre.

The Baggies have been heavily linked with the Norwegian midfielder this summer window as James Morrison continues to bulk out his squad.

Myhre has established himself as one of the standout midfielders in the Elitiserian with his performances for SK Brann.

Pushing up the Championship table is the goal for Morrison and completely avoiding the relegation scrap.

It has been a fairly busy window for the Hawthorns club so far, with five new arrivals, with Myhre poised as their sixth.

With interest in Myhre intensifying, questions over when a deal could be landed will be asked, and there has an answer in that regard.

Why West Brom will now wait for Felix Horn Myhre answer

West Brom News have been keeping up with all things transfers, including Myhre's recent comments over his future.

While there has been some optimism of striking an agreement, that will have to hold off for now.

According to the Express and Star, West Brom will have to wait until after this weekend to push ahead with any potential move for Myhre.

That is because it is now "expected" that the midfielder will be involved for Brann as they take on Rosenborg on Sunday.

The fixture is a key match-up in the Eliteserien, with the two Norwegian outfits in eight and ninth place respectively.

Brann are also just six points behind the Europa League qualifer places, so it is clear why they may not want to let Myhre exit just yet.

What the latest SK Brann stance means for West Brom's chances

The stance from Brann does not diminish West Brom's chances at all, as it is what is to be expected of a club trying to prioritise their own interests.

The Norwegian side are well aware that Myhre is deserving of a chance abroad but will not be eager to accept offers they deem too low.

That is evident through Brann's manager, Eirik Horneland, stating: "I don't think there's any doubt that Felix will get out at some point.”

The Baggies must simply roll up their sleeves and put forward an offer they feel is reasonable for Myhre.

There is still plenty of time to get a deal agreed before the Championship season starts on 15 August.

Although the Midlands club do face Rotherham on 8 August in the EFL Cup.
