Norwegian star makes cheeky weather comment amid West Brom interest West Brom target Felix Horn Myhre admits Spain weather is ‘tempting’ amid transfer interest. West Brom transfer target Felix Horn Myhre has made a cheeky comment about the weather amid ongoing speculation over his future. The Baggies are understood to be interested in signing the SK Brann midfielder as they look to strengthen head coach James Morrison’s midfield options ahead of the new Championship season. However, the 27-year-old Norway international is attracting interest from elsewhere, with La Liga side Elche also reportedly keen on securing his signature. Myhre, who has won seven caps for Norway, was asked by journalist Davy Wathne where he would prefer to play next season - with the choice between Elche, based in Alicante, and West Brom in the Black Country. The midfielder responded with a light-hearted reference to the weather, quoted as saying: “I honestly don’t know. “The temperature in Spain is tempting after a summer like this.” Myhre is regarded as one of the Eliteserien’s standout midfielders and reports in Norway suggest a bidding battle could develop for his signature. The SK Brann midfielder, who primarily operates as a ‘number eight’, has around 18 months remaining on his contract, which expires in December 2027. Elche have previously shown interest, while Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt and Danish side Brondby have also been linked. Brann were the former club of West Brom striker Aune Heggebo, who joined Albion in a £4.7 million deal last summer, while Myhre narrowly missed out on Norway’s World Cup squad, which included former Baggies defender Torbjorn Heggem.
