Wolves made a late attempt to sign Tobias Guddal from Tromso as the European transfer window closed. The Premier League club has been one of the busiest during the window, having sold Jorgen Strand Larsen and considering a sale of David Moller Wolfe, but they were also eager to strengthen their squad.
Several players have featured on Wolves’ shopping list in recent months, and Guddal, a Tromso centre-back, was identified as a potential addition. The Norwegian defender is understood to be open to moving to a bigger league, seeking the opportunity to develop further and test himself at a higher level. His performances have not gone unnoticed, as he was invited to the Norwegian national team in August, demonstrating his growing reputation and potential.
Wolves’ rejected bid
--------------------
According to [TV2](https://www.tv2.no/sport/tromso-avslo-bud-pa-juvel-fra-premier-league-klubb/18526538/), Wolves submitted an offer of around 45 million kroner for Guddal, a proposal they believed to be sufficient. Tromso, however, rejected the bid, indicating that they expect a significantly higher fee before allowing the 23-year-old to leave. This decision reflects the club’s desire to retain one of its most promising talents unless a substantial offer is received.
The rejection means Guddal will remain in Norway for the time being, continuing his development at Tromso. A move to the Premier League would have provided him with greater exposure, a more competitive environment, and the chance to strengthen his standing within the national team.
Future prospects
----------------
Despite the setback, Guddal’s future remains bright. Continued strong performances are likely to attract interest from even bigger clubs in the upcoming transfer windows. If he maintains his form, he could secure a move to a major European league, further enhancing his international prospects and career trajectory. Wolves’ interest underlines their ambition to identify and recruit emerging talent, even if this particular transfer did not materialise.
