Newcastle United have reportedly taken a major step in their summer recruitment drive by agreeing personal terms with Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jørgen Strand Larsen. The 25-year-old Norwegian forward, who joined Wolves from Celta Vigo, has impressed in the Premier League with his physical presence, aerial ability, and consistent work rate, attracting interest from several top-flight clubs.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that the Magpies have been in advanced talks with Larsen’s representatives over the past week, and an agreement on personal terms has now been reached. The deal, however, still hinges on Newcastle finalising a transfer fee with Wolves, who are reluctant to lose one of their key attacking options.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is keen to bolster his forward line ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, especially with the club competing in both domestic and European competitions. Larsen is seen as a player who could provide depth, versatility, and a different dimension to the attack, complementing star striker Alexander Isak.
If the transfer is completed, it would represent another statement of intent from Newcastle, who continue to show ambition in building a squad capable of challenging at the very top of English and European football.
