We asked for your thoughts on Jorgen Strand Larsen now he has secured a four-year deal at are some of your comments:Craig: Seems good business. Sold one player for £62m and brought in a good replacement who has scored goals for £23m. That'll be the mindset now for Wolves - buy for less than what they sell players for in order to meet profit and sustainability rules. Surprised I don't see them signing Victor Lindelof or some other free He is a bright spark for Wolves for the future. Ben: Strand Larsen had a decent start to his Wolves career but he really kicked into gear after Vitor Pereira arrived. Excellent news he is staying - looks a reliable goalscorer and his physical presence helps dictate the shape of the Tall, strong and clinical in front of goal. If he gets the service, I'm sure he will add many more goals to his tally. Very pleased to see him become a permanent Yeah, viva Larsen!Dairve: I believe this will be a terrific season for Jorgen Strand Larsen - he grew and grew last year. Exciting times for Wolves and the player himself.

In fact, the Norwegian ended the campaign on a hot streak, netting seven times in his final seven is 6ft 4in tall and won 67 aerial duels in 2024-25, the sixth highest total by a forward, though he only scored three headers. But where he particularly excelled was in making the most of his shot-conversion figure - the percentage of efforts resulting in a goal – was 25.9%, which was the second highest recorded by any player with at least 20 attempts last term, bettered only by Nottingham Forest's Chris also directed 69.4% of his shots on target, the leading percentage among forwards who start regularly, and overperformed his expected goals total by remains to be seen whether he can reproduce that clinical form in 2025-26, with the absence of Cunha perhaps meaning opposition defences will afford him less in a market where centre-forwards come at a premium, the 25-year-old has already proven a shrewd signing for Wolves.
