Wolves Hand Jorgen Strand Larsen New Contract as Striker Returns to Training

The extension reinforces Wolves’ position after Newcastle’s pursuit fell short.

Overview

  • Wolves announced on 19 September that Jorgen Strand Larsen has agreed fresh terms, extending his stay at Molineux.
  • The Norway forward posted “Back training” on Instagram, returning after an August Carabao Cup brace at West Ham and a subsequent injury layoff.
  • Newcastle’s summer interest included talks over several weeks and two bids reported at £50m and £55m that were rejected.
  • With Strand Larsen out of reach, Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade for a club‑record fee and added Yoane Wissa to bolster their attack.
  • Supporters have speculated about potential buyout or relegation clauses in the new deal, though terms are undisclosed, and reporting from Chris Waugh of The Athletic indicates a future Newcastle move is unlikely unless injuries change plans.
