West Ham Weigh January Move for Wolves' Strand Larsen as £40m Price Tag Emerges

Wolves' stance highlights a choice between cashing in on a depreciating asset and retaining firepower in a bleak survival fight.

Overview

  • West Ham are considering a January approach for Jørgen Strand Larsen, with options such as a loan including an obligation to buy under discussion, according to Yahoo Sports.
  • Wolves are reported to be seeking about £40 million for the striker next month, as first noted by The Guardian and relayed by Football Insider.
  • Jørgen Strand Larsen’s form has slumped this season with three goals in all competitions and poor underlying metrics, including a saved penalty that drew boos at Molineux, per FotMob figures cited by Football Insider.
  • Crystal Palace have also been linked with the Norwegian forward, creating potential competition in the winter window, CaughtOffside reports.
  • Wolves previously rejected sizeable offers for the 25-year-old, including a reported £55 million bid in the summer noted by The Telegraph, while their current league campaign has left them in serious relegation trouble.
