Wolves sign striker Larsen on loan from Celta Vigo

Wolves have completed the signing of Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Spanish side Celta Vigo on an initial loan deal.

The 24-year-old has joined for a loan fee of £2.5m, with the deal automatically becoming permanent until 2029 for £23m if certain clauses are triggered.

Larsen had a medical on Monday having scored 16 goals for Celta last season, including 13 in the league, as they finished 13th in La Liga.

He previously played for Sarpsborg in Norway before moving to Dutch club Groningen.

Sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “He’s a great guy, who’s got a really good charisma and a great personality, and although he’s still young, still learning and still developing, he’s shown that he can score goals, and puts a lot of work and running in for the rest of the team.

“In Jorgen, we’re getting a guy whose career is on the way up and we hope to keep helping him improve and develop so he can get to the levels we think he can reach.”
