Newcastle United is poised to make a move for striker Jorgen Strand-Larsen during the upcoming January transfer window. The club previously faced multiple rejected bids from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer, with offers nearing £60 million. However, Wolves are now willing to negotiate a deal that could see Strand-Larsen leave for as little as £40 million.
Wolves Open to Selling Strand-Larsen
Following the arrival of Tolu Arokodare and Hwang Hee-chan, Wolverhampton has reassessed their position regarding Strand-Larsen. The club is mindful of its precarious position in the Premier League and recognizes the risk of a drop in player values if relegation occurs.
Financial Context
Wolves paid just over £20 million for Strand-Larsen last summer after a successful loan spell. Now, they are willing to entertain offers that are significantly less than what Newcastle previously proposed. This shift comes as Wolves prioritize financial prudence as they address their potential relegation fears.
Interest from Multiple Clubs
Newcastle is not the only club interested in Strand-Larsen. Nottingham Forest has made inquiries, while Tottenham, Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are also monitoring the situation. West Ham had expressed interest, but they have since shifted to other targets.
Newcastle’s Ongoing Search
As Newcastle prepares for the January transfer window, they remain keen on bolstering their offensive options. Strand-Larsen is a player they have monitored closely, making him a likely candidate for their upcoming recruitment efforts.
- Newcastle’s previous summer offers reached nearly £60 million.
- Wolverhampton is ready to negotiate for less than £50 million.

With a potential deal on the horizon, the January transfer window promises to be an intriguing period for Newcastle and their pursuit of a new striker. Fans will be watching closely to see if Strand-Larsen becomes the player to enhance their attacking line.
