"I'm very happy with his commitment" - Wolves boss opens up on Jorgen Strand Larsen's transfer saga
Vitor Pereira insists Jorgen Strand Larsen has shown no signs of forcing a move away from Wolves amid interest from Newcastle.
The Magpies are keen on a move for the striker this summer and although the clubs have not been in contact, intermediaries have been discussing a potential fee.
Wolves are desperate to keep the player and insist he is not for sale - and Pereira says Larsen is remaining professional and committed in training, but the head coach admitted anything can happen while the window is still open.
"For us, he's a very important player," Pereira said.
"I never spoke with him about it, he's our player.
"When I watch him in training, he's committed with everybody and committed with the team.
"He's a fighter, he likes to win and he's preparing himself to play (against Bournemouth).
"The market is the market, if the window is open players can come and players can leave, this is football.
"Larsen is here and working hard. I'm very happy with his commitment.
"Nobody at the club has spoken to me about it (him leaving)."
Wolves have so far made four additions this summer and are still targeting more signings - as they continue talks for Girona's Ladislav Krejci.
Fans have been frustrated at the slow speed at which Wolves have brought players in, but Pereira is confident he will have a strong squad when the window closes on September 1.
"I believe that we will have a good team," he said.
"We are in the process of building our way to play because we have different players this season.
"We lost some of them from the first XI and this is the time to rebuild things, the behaviour, and to connect everybody.
"We know what we are doing, we know what is in our minds for the future and they are working very well in the way I like and because of that, I am positive.
"This time is not easy for a manager because we push for the players we need and we can lose players that we want.
"But this is football and I believe at the end of the market we will be able to complete with everyone for points.
"The club is working to help us because they know what we need.
"I believe that we can bring the positions that we need to have competition inside the group."
