Overview

• Multiple outlets report Wolves turned down a flat £50m offer and insist Strand Larsen is not for sale this window due to timing and his importance after a 14‑goal league season.
• Brentford have rejected bids for Yoane Wissa, and head coach Keith Andrews says he expects the forward to remain with the club beyond next week’s deadline.
• Alexander Isak remains out of the Newcastle squad after Liverpool’s £110m offer was rejected earlier this month, with the club reiterating that conditions for a sale have not been met.
• Chairman Yasir Al‑Rumayyan attended the Liverpool match and sanctioned high‑level talks, with Newcastle sources describing ongoing but difficult discussions after the initial Wolves bid.
• Newcastle view a new No 9 as a replacement for departed forward Callum Wilson; some reports indicate Wolves would value Strand Larsen nearer £60m as the window nears its September 1 close.
