Strand Larsen Hat-Trick Revives Interest as Wolves Weigh January Sale

Head coach Rob Edwards praised the striker’s application, leaving open the possibility of a move this month if an offer suits the club.

Overview

  • Wolves thrashed Shrewsbury Town 6-1 in the FA Cup, with Jørgen Strand Larsen scoring a hat-trick and ending a 12-game drought to send the team into the fourth round.
  • Edwards said speculation is inevitable during the window and noted the club would assess any approach on its merits after recalling the 25-year-old to start following recent bench roles.
  • Nottingham Forest have made contact and plan to submit an offer, according to Football Insider, with Tottenham and Everton also reported to be tracking the Norway international.
  • Football Insider reports Wolves could reluctantly accept around £40m later in the window if their survival prospects worsen, down from a summer valuation near £60m.
  • Football finance expert Dr Dan Plumley told Football Insider that selling in January could maximise value given relegation risk, with Wolves currently bottom of the Premier League.
