Price 'helped massively' by spell in Belgium
Isaac Price made two Premier League appearances for Everton

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Isaac Price believes leaving his boyhood club Everton to join Standard Liege in 2023 has helped his career.
The 21-year-old joined the Baggies from the Belgian side in January for an undisclosed fee.
"It's not the easiest and probably a few players would turn it down just because of the lifestyle, but I think it's really good for football, I learned a lot and it helped me get my move back here," Price told BBC Radio WM.
"The Belgian league is very similar to the Championship. There are a lot of good teams who play really attractive football at the top, while the ones at the bottom make it really difficult for you and make the game into a fight and it's similar in that anyone can beat anyone."
The Northern Ireland international started his career at Everton, for whom he made two Premier League appearances as a substitute, before signing for Standard in June 2023.
"There's a lot of good talent at top academies around the country but they fizzle out when they get to the under-21 stages because they don't want to make the jump abroad or move to a different place to play," added Price.
"But I think that's the best thing to do if you can go and play somewhere and get regular first-team minutes - it helped me massively."
