Newcastle United may look to sign 25-year-old Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Jorgen Strand Larsen is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Alexander Isak’s long-term future. So, the 25-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-forward has emerged as a target for the Tyneside outfit.
With moves for other strikers hitting stumbling blocks, the Halden native has become a top target for Newcastle United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers may reluctantly accept bids to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, a report by talkSPORT has suggested that the 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have scouted Strand Larsen.
Jorgen Strand Larsen and his Premier League spell so far
Jorgen Strand Larsen has been a dependable performer since joining Wolverhampton Wanderers from Celta Vigo. The Black Country outfit initially signed the 25-year-old on loan last summer before completing a permanent move this summer. The player enjoyed a solid debut season with the Premier League outfit, contributing to 19 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions by finding the back of the net 14 times and providing five assists.
The Norwegian international ensured Wolverhampton Wanderers did not suffer relegation from the Premier League with his contribution in the final third. Meanwhile, Strand Larsen’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Newcastle United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Newcastle United’s interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen makes sense. The Magpies have been scouring the market for a striker this summer amid uncertainties surrounding Alexander Isak’s long-term future. The Swedish international is pushing for a summer move to Liverpool, and his recent public statement has created a messy situation at Newcastle United.
Several candidates, including Yoane Wissa, are on Newcastle United’s radar. However, Brentford’s increased asking price has forced the Tyneside outfit to look elsewhere, with Strand Larsen emerging as a viable target. The 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have recently scouted the former Celta Vigo striker, and Wolverhampton Wanderers may reluctantly accept bids to part ways with him.
However, it is unclear how much Wolverhampton Wanderers will demand to sell the 25-year-old Norwegian international in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United can secure Strand Larsen’s services in the coming weeks.
