Overview
- Palace announced the signing just before the January transfer window closed, confirming a long-term deal for the 25-year-old forward.
- Reporting differs on the fee, with the Evening Standard citing £43m plus £5m in add-ons and GOAL putting the figure at around £50m, with both describing it as a club record.
- Strand Larsen will wear the No. 22 shirt and joins after 18 months at Wolves, where he scored 14 league goals last season but has just one in the Premier League this term.
- Jean-Philippe Mateta’s proposed switch to AC Milan fell through after medical concerns over a knee issue, leaving him set to remain with Crystal Palace.
- The move follows interest from several Premier League clubs earlier in the window, but Palace moved decisively to secure the Norway international as a new focal point up front.
