Improving Felix Horn Myhre: I'm not flying with West Brom but call-up feels good

Felix Horn Myhre is satisfied his improved Albion form has earned a Norway call after World Cup devastation - but added “I’ve not been flying”.

The 27-year-old summer recruit has enjoyed an improved run of form for his club since the last international break between September and October and has been rewarded by national boss Stale Solbakken.

Horn Myhre netted his first Championship goals in the wins over Blackburn and West Ham and was also bright in the draw against Preston, but admitted he fell short in Tuesday’s 1-1 clash against Southampton.

The Norway international’s £2.5million move from Brann in the summer came after international heartbreak at missing out on a place in his nation’s World Cup squad, a heavily-debated decision in his homeland. Horn Myhre could add to his seven caps and two goals with Nations League ties against Wales and Denmark this month.

"I'm pleased, it's always nice to get back in the squad and it means I've been doing something right, so that's a good thing.” Horn Myhre said of his call.

"I feel, at least since the last national team break, I've improved a bit.

"I don't think every game I've played has been superb. So it's not like I've been flying, but I think performances have been getting steadily a bit better and better.

"I had a great game at the London Stadium against West Ham. I think my game against Preston was quite good.

"The midweek game I don't think I performed as good as I should, it's been a bit up and down to be honest. I still feel I could stabilise myself on a bit of a higher level, but it's a work in progress.

"I understood I have to be a bit patient and keep working hard."

Norway, under former Wolves boss Solbakken, enjoyed a thrilling run to the quarter-final of the summer’s World Cup before defeat to England.

Horn Myhre turned out for his nation in the March friendlies before the tournament, but was a late omission from the showpiece squad.

He said: "It was a bit devastating at the time, but you move on and get over it and obviously they had a great campaign, so I was sitting at home cheering and now it's nice to be back.

"I was swept up to be honest. The first few days you're a bit bitter and feeling a bit sad for yourself, and all of those emotions.

"I have a lot of friends on the team, I've been with them for a couple of years and know them well. You want them to do good. It was the first time in many years Norway had been to a World Cup, so I can't be sitting at home and not cheering them.”
