Jørgen Strand Larsen, a 25-year-old Norwegian international from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is attracting interest from both Crystal Palace and West Ham United. West Ham's manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, is reportedly urging his club's board to sign the striker. Crystal Palace, a fellow London club, is also interested and possesses greater financial capabilities, partly due to winning the FA Cup last season and participating in the Conference League. However, their interest is described as being less concrete than West Ham's.
The striker, who has 24 caps and 4 goals for Norway, joined Wolves in July 2025 on a contract until 2030 and has scored one goal in 15 Premier League appearances this season. During the summer 2025 transfer window, Wolves reportedly rejected bids of £50 million and £55 million from Newcastle United, and their asking price was said to be approximately £60 million. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €40.00m.
