Wolverhampton Wanderers have turned down a £50 million offer from Newcastle United for Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, according to multiple reports. The Midlands club told Newcastle the 25-year-old is not for sale during the current transfer window, having only converted his year-long loan from Celta Vigo into a permanent £23 million deal in July. Strand Larsen scored 14 Premier League goals last season—Wolves’ highest tally for a debut campaign—and signed a four-year contract last month. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is seeking a forward after allowing Callum Wilson’s contract to expire and amid an ongoing dispute with Alexander Isak, who has been sidelined since Liverpool failed with a £110 million approach earlier in the summer. The rejected bid underscores Wolves’ intent to retain their leading scorer and leaves Newcastle still searching for attacking reinforcements ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.
