Wolverhampton Wanderers turned down a £55million offer from Newcastle for Jorgen Strand Larsen, an improved bid that still fell short. The rejection marks the eighth striker offer Newcastle have had rejected this summer. Newcastle urgently need a forward after Alexander Isak refused to train while pushing for a move to Liverpool. The Premier League champions are reportedly ready with a record-breaking proposal but will only act if Newcastle facilitate a sale, which hinges on Eddie Howe securing a replacement. A third bid near £60million is expected, while the closing transfer window makes other clubs reluctant to sell.
It was an offer improved on the previous one, but obviously still not enough to convince Wolves to sell. Also, it raises the number of offers for a striker Newcastle have had rejected this summer to a total of eight. The Magpies are desperate to get a new striker in, with Alexander Isak still refusing to train with the team as he angles for a move to Liverpool.
The Premier League champions are said to be waiting in the shadows with a record-breaking offer, but they'll only make a move if Newcastle open the door. And that won't happen, until Eddie Howe has a new striker in his ranks. Therefore, a third bid, likely in the region of £60million, is expected to test Wolves' resolve in the coming days.
