DONE DEAL REJECTED: Wolves Slam Door On Leeds’ £33M Bid For Jørgen Strand Larsen As Farke Pushes For January Striker Deal

Wolves Reject Leeds United’s £33M Bid For Jørgen Strand Larsen
Wolverhampton Wanderers have rejected a £33 million bid from Leeds United for Norwegian striker Jørgen Strand Larsen, dealing a major blow to Daniel Farke’s plans to strengthen his attack before the January 2026 transfer deadline.
Reports indicate Leeds made a serious move to sign the 25-year-old forward in a bid to boost their goal threat for the second half of the Premier League season. However, Wolves are understood to have turned down the offer, believing it falls below their valuation of the striker.
Wolves Set £40M Valuation
While Leeds’ bid showed clear intent, Wolves are believed to be holding out for around £40 million before considering any deal. The Midlands club are not under immediate pressure to sell and view Strand Larsen as an important part of their plans.
With Wolves fighting for stability in the league, letting a striker of his profile leave midway through the campaign could prove risky unless a suitable replacement is lined up.
Leeds Still Pushing For A New Striker
Leeds are actively searching for a striker this window, and their aggressive offer highlights how serious they are about bringing in a proven Premier League forward.
Farke’s side have been working on multiple attacking targets, but Strand Larsen remains one of the key names on their shortlist — especially given his physical presence, pressing ability, and top-flight experience.
Competition Could Force Leeds To Act Fast
Leeds may not have the race to themselves. Premier League clubs such as Crystal Palace have also been linked with the striker as they consider replacements up front, meaning Leeds could face stiff competition if Wolves open the door to negotiations.
The coming days will be crucial as Leeds decide whether to return with an improved offer or switch attention to alternative targets before the deadline closes.
