Jorgen Strand Larsen has followed head coach Vitor Pereira in penning a new contract with Wolves, having stayed put amid transfer interest from Newcastle United last month.

Newcastle reportedly had two bids – with the second being around £55m – rejected for Strand Larsen, who only joined Wolves permanently at the end of last season.

He spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan from Celta Vigo and scored 14 times in the Premier League as Wolves comfortably avoided relegation, with only seven players netting more non-penalty goals than the Norwegian in the competition.

Wolves handed coach Pereira a new three-year deal on Thursday, despite losing their first four games of a league campaign for the first time in 127 seasons at any level.

And after following suit on Friday, Strand Larsen – who has missed Wolves’ last two league games with an Achilles issue – said his focus was now on reversing that poor start.

“I’ve been incredibly happy here at Wolves. Signing a new deal shows that my commitment is here, I’m happy here, I love all my friends and team-mates, the fans are amazing, and we just want to make it a better season than last year.

“I’ve signed a new deal, more years at Wolves, which is perfect for me – the club’s happy, I’m happy myself, so I’m ready to get back on the pitch now.

“The most important thing for me is to come back to the pitch and for us to start winning and get out of the bad start we had.”

Strand Larsen’s new deal will run to 2030 with Wolves also holding an option to extend it by a further 12 months, and it reportedly does not contain a release clause.
