In October 2023, something unusual happened. A Premier League manager pitched up at the Sky Sports studios for the Monday Night Football slot and delivered a detailed masterclass of the tactics he uses. It was a rare sharing of analysis. Managers always accuse the media of not actually wanting to talk about football − we do − and then refuse to engage.
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.
Wolverhampton Wanderers remain determined to keep hold of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen despite strong and persistent interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies recently returned with an improved bid worth 55 million, but Wolves swiftly rejected the offer and maintain that the Norwegian international is not for sale. Strand Larsen, 25, has become one of Wolves' most influential players since his arrival from Celta Vigo. The powerful forward has impressed with his goal scoring quality and physical presence.
Despite cruising their way to Premier League safety last season, the Midlands-based outfit collected just a single point from any of their final four top-flight appearances. Getting the new campaign underway with what was a nightmare 4-0 drumming at the hands of Manchester City, the former Botafogo boss has seen his squad suffer consecutive defeats from their first two Premier League showdowns.
Wolverhampton Wanderers coaching staff and players paid their respects to former teammate Diogo Jota following his tragic death in a car accident. Flowers and tributes were placed at Molineux stadium and around the Billy Wright statue as fans honored his memory. Jota, who played 130 matches for Wolves, was instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League, scoring 44 goals. Liverpool is also set to pay tribute during their upcoming friendly match at Preston North End.
