Whisper it quietly but Albion may just have found themselves a little gem of a player ...

No I'm not talking about Jimmy-Jay Morgan - or JJM - as he will become affectionately known to The Hawthorns faithful. The secret is already out about this 20 year-old after his smoking finish on his Championship debut at Norwich.

The other player to really make a positive first impression is Rabby Nzingoula, another 20 year-old signing, this time from Strasbourg for a fee of around £2 million. His brilliant 20-minute cameo at Carrow Road has clearly been followed by a week of excellence on the training pitch because manager James Morrison had nothing but praise for the Frenchman when we spoke at Thursday's press conference.
