Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has been linked with a move away from Leeds United in recent months. According to a report from Sky Sports journalists Zinny Boswell and Lyall Thomas, Leeds United have now made an approach to sign the player. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done this month.
The Whites are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they could use more quality in depth in the attacking unit. Signing another striker could prove to be a wise decision. Strand Larsen is valued at £40 million, and he has the quality to help Leeds improve in the attack.
The Norwegian striker could be attracted to the idea of joining them. Leeds United certainly have a better chance of survival compared to Wolves. Strand Larsen will want to compete at the highest level and stay in the Premier League.
Joining another club in January could be ideal for him. Wolves are the favourites to go down this season, and Jorgen Strand Larsen will not want to compete in the Championship next season. Meanwhile, the £40 million asking price is quite steep for the striker. It will be interesting to see if Leeds United are willing to pay up for him. It would be a substantial investment for them.
Strand Larsen could help Leeds United
However, Jorgen Strand Larsen has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he could be an important player for them. The 25-year-old could lead the line for them in the coming seasons, and he might be able to justify the investment in future.
The Premier League outfit are yet to follow up on their enquiry with an official proposal to get the deal done. The Whites have the finances to pay a premium for him, and it will be interesting to see what they decide. Leeds need to improve the squad in January if they want to do well in the second half of the season.
Apart from a quality striker, the West Yorkshire outfit should look to invest in a reliable defender as well. Daniel Farke’s men have looked quite poor at the back season, and they need to tighten up in that area of the pitch.
