West Brom winger James Morrison is hoping that the Midlanders can join their weekend opponents Swansea in the Europa League next season.

The Swans booked their spot in the competition after lifting the Capital One Cup last month, capping an impressive campaign.

But, The Baggies moved three points ahead of the South Wales-based outfit in the Premeir League with a 2-1 win on Saturday.

Morrison, who played in Europe with Middlesbrough, believes that West Brom are good enough to make it into continental competition and hopes they can maintain their form and push for qualification:

“We beat a team like Swansea, who’ve had a lot of credit this year, and so should we. We are delighted with where we are.” He is quoted by The Mirror.

“I’ve played in Europe before and we got all the way to the final. It was great, travelling to different countries and facing different opposition.

“I would like to play in Europe again but we’ve got to keep progressing.

“We’ve got a good group of players so let’s kick on from here. Hopefully now we can keep it going because we don’t want to let the season fizzle out.”

One man who has been in fine form for West Brom this season is on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku.

The 19-year-old Belgian has netted an impressive 13 Premier League goals since his arrival from Chelsea, becoming a key player under manager Steve Clarke.

Morrison praised the burly centre-forward and revealed that he hopes he’ll be with the club again next season:

“His goals are one of the reasons we are where we are. Hopefully the club can get the deal sorted.

“He is a pleasure to have and I think he will be even better next season. I’m sure he is going to be a top player.”
