"According to Ben Jacobs, Crystal Palace have opened talks about the possibility of signing Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers, preparing for all eventualities regarding the future of Jean-Philippe Mateta. Mateta has 18 months left on his contract, and he has already informed Palace that he will not be signing a new one. Juventus are working towards taking the 28-year-old striker to Turin this month, and a replacement option is obviously needed at Selhurst Park."
"Valued at around £40million, Strand Larsen was a signing of Matt Hobbs the current sporting director at Palace, back in his days at Wolves. Since then, the 25-year-old Norway international has scored 20 goals and produced seven assists in 62 appearances for Wolves in all competitions. Strand Larsen was heavily linked with Newcastle last summer when the Magpies sought to replace Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, but in the end, they went with Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa."
