The best, but also the last. This Sunday, Isaac Price delivered one of his best performances in the colors of Standard. The Northern Irishman can now fly to West Bromwich Albion to join the Championship club.
He knew how to take care of his goodbyes. This Sunday in Sint-Truiden, Isaac Price played his best match of the season in the colors of Standard. One of its best since its free arrival on the banks of the Meuse, in July 2023.
Very fair in his game, which has often failed him, the Northern Irishman greatly helped the Rouches midfielder to win his battle against the Trudonnaire trio. He is also decisive on the 1-2, with his shot on the post returning to Ayensa’s feet.
“It was his best match of the season, but probably his last at Standard. I understand his choice, to come back to England, close to his family. He is an example of professionalism, a player with a lot of potential. I will follow him and I hope to see him soon in the Premier League,” Ivan Leko said about him at a press conference.

Isaac Price is in fact on his way to West Bromwich Albion, the destination he flew to on Monday to undergo his medical examination and discuss the latest terms of his contract. Standard, for its part, will recover an amount of around 3 million euros, as well as a resale percentage of between 15 and 20%.
Currently sixth in the Championship, WBA is aiming to qualify for the play-offs. The teams ranked third to sixth, in the form of a final 4, will compete for the last elite ticket.
Throughout the meeting, as well as in front of the supporters, Isaac Price was hugged for a long time by his teammates. A player appreciated in the locker room, who gave everything for 90 minutes, without calculating what could have happened in icy conditions, on an artificial pitch. Price pulled away to win a very important victory for the Rouches.
