Crystal Palace to Spend €57 Million on Jorgen Strand Larsen

Jorgen Strand Larsen is in high demand in England. This past summer, British media reported substantial offers from Newcastle for him, with one reaching as high as €70 million. Ultimately, it was Nick Woltemade who joined the Magpies to replace Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool. Six months later, Larsen finds himself in a difficult position at the bottom of the Premier League with Wolverhampton.

The 25-year-old striker has only scored one goal in 21 league matches, but his talent hasn’t vanished overnight. Therefore, it is no surprise that Crystal Palace is on the verge of acquiring the Norwegian for a fee close to €57 million. An agreement is reportedly imminent according to The Athletic, especially with the future of Jean-Philippe Mateta still uncertain.
