"Chelsea reportedly made a late attempt to sign Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen before the transfer deadline, according to journalist Simon Phillips. The Blues were looking for an additional striker to strengthen their attacking options and reached out to Strand Larsen's representatives in a bid to bring the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge on deadline day. However, the deal did not materialise, and it appears the club was unsuccessful in their efforts."
"Wolves had previously turned down several approaches from Newcastle for Strand Larsen throughout the summer transfer window, with the latest offer reportedly reaching 55 million. Under manager Vitor Pereira, the club was hesitant to sell the Norwegian international, especially as they had already parted ways with top scorer Matheus Cunha, who moved to Manchester United this summer. Despite having four years remaining on his contract, Strand Larsen's future became a topic of discussion in the final stages of the transfer window."

Chelsea blocked Nicolas Jackson's move to Bayern Munich after Liam Delap's injury but later allowed Jackson's transfer and focused on other attacking signings.
