Jorgen Strand Larsen makes Wolves stance clear amid Newcastle interest
Jorgen Strand Larsen has told Wolves he wishes to make a move to Newcastle United before the transfer window closes, the Express & Star understands.
The Magpies have so far had two bids turned down for the striker, worth £50million and £55million, and they are expected to return with a third bid of £60million or more imminently.
Wolves maintain their position that the player is not for sale at any price this summer, with chairman Jeff Shi making it clear that he will not sell the Norwegian.
But Newcastle are still pushing for his signature and the player has now expressed his desire to join the Champions League club.
Larsen has also already agreed personal terms with Newcastle, as revealed by the Express & Star a week ago.
It is understood that Larsen has so far been respectful to Wolves, hence why he played and scored a brace in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, but that he has asked the club to respect his wish to join Newcastle.
Wolves are currently working on signing a second striker, which they insist is not linked to Larsen's future and they are adamant he is not for sale.
