Overview

• Newcastle have turned to the Norway international as they step up their hunt for a centre-forward before the September 1 deadline.
• Reports indicate Wolves have quoted about £60m plus add-ons for the 25-year-old, who was only made permanent this summer.
• Wolves are resisting a sale after paying roughly €30m to sign him from Celta Vigo following a 14-goal Premier League campaign.
• Newcastle’s need has grown after Alexander Isak declared he “can’t continue” at the club and has been training away from the squad.
• An offer for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa was rejected this week, and local reports say any deal for Strand Larsen would hinge on Wolves sourcing a replacement.
