Wolves rejected a 50m bid from Newcastle and maintain Jrgen Strand Larsen is not for sale. The club says it cannot afford to sell the Norwegian before the transfer window closes because of timing and his record as a proven Premier League goalscorer. Newcastle lack a bona fide No 9 amid Alexander Isak's absence and Callum Wilson's departure. Head coach Vitor Pereira regards Strand Larsen as his only senior striker. The 25-year-old scored 14 top‑flight goals last season and joined for 23m in July after a Celta Vigo loan. Strand Larsen was withdrawn at Bournemouth with a minor achilles problem. Wolves sold Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Nelson Semedo left for Fenerbahce. Pereira hopes to offload Fabio Silva and may move Hwang Hee-chan or Sasa Kalajdzic. Newcastle failed in attempts to sign Yoane Wissa; Benjamin Sesko preferred Manchester United. Pereira wants at least three signings: a central defender (pursuing Girona's Ladislav Krejci), a central midfielder and a versatile forward.
Wolves have rejected a 50m bid from Newcastle for Jrgen Strand Larsen and maintain the striker is not for sale. Wolves are aware Newcastle identified Strand Larsen as a key target but their stance is they cannot afford to sell the Norwegian before the close of the transfer window on Monday. Wolves deem Strand Larsen irreplaceable owing to the timing and Strand Larsen's record as a proven goalscorer in the Premier League.
Newcastle are without a bona fide No 9 amid the continued absence of Alexander Isak and the departure of Callum Wilson at the end of his contract. The Wolves head coach, Vitor Pereira, deems Strand Larsen his only senior striker. The 25-year-old scored 14 top-flight goals for the club last season and joined in a 23m deal in July after a successful loan from Celta Vigo.
Newcastle have so far failed in attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford, who are holding out for what they deem a fair price for the forward, while Benjamin Sesko preferred a move to Manchester United. Newcastle were also interested in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, both of whom joined Chelsea. Pereira wants at least three more signings: a central defender, with the club pushing for Girona's Ladislav Krejci, a central midfielder and a versatile forward priorities.
