Mowbray has found his next Jobe Bellingham in “outstanding” West Brom ace

Mowbray has found his next Jobe Bellingham in “outstanding” West Brom ace                                                       

Although West Bromwich Albion supporters adored Carlos Corberan as manager, the Spaniard was never renowned to position his teams to attack with the most daring and beautiful football.

However, Tony Mowbray is known for encouraging his sides to play with vigor, and everyone saw that in the last game at the Hawthorns when the Baggies defeated Portsmouth 5-1 thanks to a barrage of goals in the first half.

Throughout his lengthy management career to date, he has also been renowned to bring out the best in emerging players; the promotion hopefuls have a number of talented young players in their ranks in addition to more seasoned players like Alex Mowatt and Kyle Bartley.

Under Mowbray’s careful supervision, the 19-year-old had his first opportunities to shine at the Stadium of Light, and the 61-year-old could now discover his next Jobe Bellingham with one very fascinating youth.

In fact, Bellingham never looked back when the now-Baggies manager gave him his first senior minutes on Wearside at the beginning of the 2023–2024 campaign.

With a brace against Rotherham United all the way back in 2023, the Borussia Dortmund target would only need to play three games in the first team fold to begin impressing Black Cats fans with his class.

With Mowbray at the helm, Bellingham would contribute four of his 15 goals overall while wearing Sunderland red and white. His former manager even called the midfield star a “diamond.”

With another up-and-coming talent who he has already started to speak poetically about in such flattering ways, Mowbray will try to be as influential in his current position.

With 16 senior Northern Ireland caps under his belt, Isaac Price has already made a significant impact on the senior game despite just being 21 years old.

Price, who previously had to transfer to Standard Liege to get more playing time after failing to make an impression on the Everton first team despite excelling in the development setup, will be eager to succeed at the Hawthorns as well.

According to remarks made following his debut against Pompey as a substitute, Mowbray has already expressed his admiration for his new £2.5 million acquisition. He specifically praised the 21-year-old’s “smooth” ball handling skills, which were evident in his 89% pass accuracy at full time.

Given that Price can score goals from a number ten position, as demonstrated by the hat-trick he scored for his country, and that he is equally at ease in a variety of midfield positions as his Sunderland counterpart, he may already see Bellingham-like traits in the former Liege gem.

According to the above table, Bellingham’s versatility up in Wearside has allowed him to line up in five different places, while Price has played in an incredible seven different positions during his career to date.

Price, who was once praised as “outstanding” at Goodison Park by former Toffees teammate Asmir Begovic before his time at Merseyside ended, could greatly improve his game under the guidance of the 61-year-old this season, just as Mowbray was able to do with Bellingham at Sunderland.

With the chance to complete his first full season at West Brom with an incredible promotion, he now has the opportunity to shine in the English league once more.
