Leeds United could be preparing one of the biggest January transfer surprises as reports claim the Whites are working on a player-plus-cash offer to sign Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen before the deadline.
With Wolves understood to be demanding a fee close to £40million, Leeds may not be able to meet the full valuation outright — but the Elland Road recruitment team are reportedly exploring a swap-style package that could change everything.
That plan would see Leeds offer one first-team player as a makeweight, alongside a cash fee, in an attempt to convince Wolves to lower their asking price and allow Strand Larsen to make the switch.
And Leeds fans will be excited for one major reason: this is exactly the type of striker Daniel Farke has been missing.
Strand Larsen is powerful, direct, and clinical — a forward who can win duels, bully defenders, and finish chances in tight moments. If Leeds truly want promotion — and want to stay up if they go up — then this is the kind of “statement signing” that sends a message to the entire league.
What makes the story even more explosive is the suggestion Leeds could act late in the window, meaning this could quickly turn into a deadline day blockbuster.
If Leeds can make the numbers work — whether through a player-plus-cash agreement or even a creative loan-to-buy structure — this could be the transfer move that sets Elland Road on fire.
One thing is clear: if this deal happens, Leeds won’t just be chasing promotion…
They’ll be announcing themselves as the club ready for the Premier League again.
