Wolves insist Norwegian is not for sale
He signed for £23m this summer after loan
Wolves have rejected a £50m bid from Newcastle for Jørgen Strand Larsen and maintain the striker is not for sale.
Wolves are aware Newcastle identified Strand Larsen as a key target but their stance is they cannot afford to sell the Norwegian before the close of the transfer window on Monday. Wolves deem Strand Larsen irreplaceable owing to the timing and Strand Larsen’s record as a proven goalscorer in the Premier League.
Newcastle are without a bona fide No 9 amid the continued absence of Alexander Isak and the departure of Callum Wilson at the end of his contract. The Wolves head coach, Vítor Pereira, deems Strand Larsen his only senior striker.
