Newcastle are showing interest in a late summer move for Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, journalist David Ornstein has revealed.
The St James’ Park side have reportedly identified the 25-year-old striker as a potential reinforcement to Eddie Howe’s attacking options, with Strand Larsen among a small group of players being considered.
The Norway international is believed to be keen on a move to Newcastle but is not actively pushing for an exit, as he still has four years left on his Molineux deal.
Newcastle have reportedly held talks regarding Strand Larsen, praised as a 'fox in the box', via intermediaries as their deal to bring Brentford's Yoane Wissa is now 'complicated'.
Ornstein claims negotiations have been complex around the 28-year-old Congolese international’s arrival and the situation has barely changed in three weeks, despite Wissa being ‘desperate to join’ Newcastle.
