Newcastle United are set to submit a third bid for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen as they look to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window closes. The Magpies have already seen offers of £50 million and £55 million rejected by Wolves, who remain reluctant to sell. However, Newcastle are prepared to raise their offer to £60 million in a bid to force a breakthrough.

Talks are ongoing between senior officials at both clubs, with Newcastle keen to finalise the deal quickly. The club has already reached a personal agreement with Strand Larsen, signalling their confidence that a deal can be completed. The 25-year-old Norway international is said to be eager for the move and views the Premier League club as a major step forward in his career.
Wolves remain firm on Jorgen Strand Larsen despite increasing pressure
Wolves have made their stance clear: even a bid of £60 million may not be enough to tempt them into selling their first-choice forward. Head coach Vítor Pereira has publicly stated that every player has a price, but also stressed that Strand Larsen remains an important part of his plans. This has placed the Midlands club in a strong negotiating position, especially with limited time left in the window.
The financial package on offer could still change the dynamic. Newcastle’s increasing urgency to add a proven striker has put pressure on the hierarchy to stretch their budget, particularly given the club’s European ambitions. Wolves, meanwhile, are aware they may struggle to find a suitable replacement at short notice if they allow Larsen to leave.
Jorgen Strand Larsen pushes for Premier League switch
The player himself has made his intentions clear. Sources close to the negotiation suggest Strand Larsen is pushing for the move to St James’ Park, with personal terms already agreed. This has added further momentum to Newcastle’s pursuit and could influence Wolves’ final decision as they weigh up the striker’s position in the squad.
Larsen’s physical presence, movement, and goalscoring ability make him an appealing option for Eddie Howe, who has been looking to add firepower with Alexander Isak linked away from Newcastle and with this new bid expected imminently, Newcastle believe they are now close to breaking Wolves’ resistance.
Decision time approaches as deadline nears
As the transfer deadline approaches, both clubs must now decide how far they are willing to go. Newcastle are determined to land their target and will push their offer as high as £60 million to do so. Wolves, however, are under no pressure to sell unless they receive a proposal they simply cannot refuse.
With personal terms agreed and time running out, the coming days will determine whether Strand Larsen makes the switch to Tyneside or remains at Molineux for the season ahead.
