Asking price lowered for Tottenham and Newcastle target

Jorgen Strand Larsen is attracting interest from both Tottenham and Newcastle United during the current transfer window. The striker has been monitored closely by several Premier League clubs, with Newcastle having made a strong push to sign him during the summer.

At that time, the Magpies were prepared to pay up to £55m to secure his signature. However, Wolves made it clear that he was not for sale, with some reports suggesting that an offer closer to £65m may have convinced them to reconsider. Newcastle believed their proposal represented strong value and ultimately chose not to increase it, instead turning their attention to alternative attacking options.

Wolves Change Their Stance

Despite failing to complete a deal in the summer, Newcastle has maintained its interest in Strand Larsen. Wolves’ position has now shifted, with the club reportedly open to selling the forward as he no longer features prominently in the plans of their new manager. This change has placed the player back on the radar for clubs seeking a proven attacking option.

Relegation concerns have also influenced Wolves’ thinking. If they were to drop out of the Premier League at the end of the season, securing a substantial fee for Strand Larsen would become significantly more difficult. As a result, the club is now willing to consider offers in order to avoid a potential loss in market value.

Reduced Asking Price Emerges

In an effort to attract firm interest, VG reports that Wolves have lowered their asking price. According to the report, the club is now prepared to accept a fee as low as £40m for the striker. This represents a notable reduction from their previous valuation and signals a clear willingness to negotiate.

However, there is also a possibility that interested clubs may attempt to push the price even lower. With Wolves appearing keen to offload the player, suitors could believe there is room to submit bids below the reported figure.

As Tottenham and Newcastle assess their attacking needs for the remainder of the season, Strand Larsen remains a player to watch. Whether Wolves can secure their desired fee, or are forced into further compromise, will likely become clearer as the transfer window progresses.
