Carlton Palmer has praised the impact Torbjørn Heggem has had at West Brom since joining the club in the summer.
The Norwegian signed for the Baggies last summer from IF Brommapojkarna and has successfully cemented himself as a key part of Carlos Corberan’s first team squad.
The defender is capable of playing both centrally or on the left-flank, and has already been utilised in both areas by the Championship side this season.
The 25-year-old has featured in all 15 of their league games so far, contributing one assist in the process.
Heggem has proven himself as a key summer signing, while also earning the adulation of supporters by quickly becoming a fan favourite.
Palmer has praised the impact Heggem has had at the Hawthorns since making his summer switch, highlighting the reasonable cost of the deal as another example of Championship clubs finding value by scouring the European market.
He believes that the defender has been the club’s best signing of the summer, crediting his performances at both centre-back and left-back.
“He’s had an unbelievable season so far for West Bromwich Albion,” Palmer told Football League World.
“Torbjørn Heggem is proving to be a mastertroke signing for West Bromwich Albion.
“I mean, reporters who are watching him week-in and week-out are running out of superlatives to describe the way that he’s been playing.
“When he arrived at the Hawthorns in the summer, not many would’ve considered him to go on and become the biggest addition of the window, and he has been by some distance.
