Newcastle United are reportedly hoping to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers before the summer transfer window closes.

It is no secret that Newcastle United need a quality striker, and they have set their sights on Jorgen Strand Larsen. The Norwegian striker could prove to be an excellent addition for the Tyneside outfit.

The 25-year-old performed well for Wolves last season, registering 19 goal contributions. According to a report by Express and Star, Newcastle United are pushing to sign the striker from the Premier League club, and they have already agreed personal terms with him. It will be interesting to see if Wolves are willing to sanction his departure.

The Norwegian striker is valued at £60 million, and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle United are prepared to break the bank for him. Strand Larsen is a talented player with a bright future, and he could develop into a star for Newcastle United. The Magpies urgently require more quality and depth in the attacking unit after multiple failed attempts to sign strikers this summer. They are also reportedly working on a deal for Yoane Wissa.

The Wolves forward will be tempted to join Newcastle United, as it would represent a huge step in his career. He would get the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League and challenge for trophies. Notably, Jorgen Strand Larsen has already agreed personal terms with Newcastle United, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach an agreement soon.

Newcastle United need quality attackers

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have not been able to significantly improve their attack. They have already lost Callum Wilson, while Alexander Isak is pushing for a move away. The need for two quality strikers is now urgent, and Newcastle United must act decisively before the window closes.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is already well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at St James’ Park if the deal goes through. Newcastle United cannot hope to do well in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League without adequate depth in the side.

Signing quality strikers will be crucial for them. Even if Isak ends up staying, they should look to bring in a top-quality striker who can lead the line for them. The Swedish international has missed pre-season, and he is unlikely to play right away after the window closes.
