Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have been in the mix to sign Jørgen Strand Larsen from Wolves this month.
Over the past few days, It’s Leeds United who have been pushed forward most. However, Daniel Farke’s side are in for a disappointment, as Crystal Palace have pushed ahead.
Norway’s reliable NRK report there’s big a big step forward.
NRK relay claims made elsewhere about Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and the Eagles and then share their own update. A transfer fee has been agreed, subsequently the 25-year-old should move to Selhurst Park in the winter market.
During the summer, Newcastle United showed interest in taking the Norway international away from Molineux. The Magpies submitted multiple bids towards the end of August 2025, but Wolves turned them down.
Earlier in the season, Strand Larsen admitted he was disappointed after Wolves blocked his move to St James’ Park. Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have all come forward late in this window.
The Norwegian is now set to leave Wolves for Oliver Glasner’s side before Monday’s deadline.
Crystal Palace in rush to register player
NRK state Crystal Palace have now reached an agreement with Wolves on the transfer fee. There’s no mention of a figure, but it indicates it will be a permanent move.
The outlet adds Strand Larsen should complete his move to Selhurst Park before this weekend. NRK say he could even be in Glasner’s squad to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, which would mean Crystal Palace having to register him by Friday lunchtime.
Amid claims of Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace are the first club to reach an agreement to sign him. NRK expert Carl-Erik Torp is pleased with the latest development.
“He needs a change of environment and a bit of a clean sheet. Seen from Norwegian eyes, it is positive that he will be able to restart and get regular playing time before the World Cup,” he said.
