Overview

• Wolves confirmed a new deal for Jorgen Strand Larsen through 2030, two months after completing his permanent move from Celta Vigo for about £23m.
• The Norway international posted "Back training" on Instagram, ending an absence since his August Carabao Cup cameo at West Ham where he scored twice.
• Newcastle pushed to sign the forward in the summer but did not meet Wolves’ valuation, instead bringing in club-record buy Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa.
• Vitor Pereira’s side have opened the league campaign with four defeats, and Strand Larsen is now in contention for the visit of Leeds.
• Wolves were unwilling to sell without time to find a replacement after Matheus Cunha’s departure, and a finance expert has suggested January spending is possible if results do not improve.
