Wolves ‘Reluctantly’ Open to £40m Strand Larsen Sale as Nottingham Forest Make Move
Wolverhampton Wanderers are prepared to reluctantly accept a £40million offer from Nottingham Forest for Jørgen Strand Larsen as the January transfer window edges toward its conclusion, sources indicate.
The Norwegian striker’s future at Molineux has remained uncertain for months following a failed summer exit, despite strong interest from Newcastle United at the time. Wolves ultimately retained the 24-year-old, but their worsening Premier League situation could now force a rethink.

Strand Larsen could actively push for a move away should Wolves’ survival hopes diminish further in the coming weeks. With Forest stepping up their interest, the Midlands club are bracing themselves for a difficult decision as they attempt to balance financial realities with the fight to stay in the top flight.
Nottingham Forest have made initial contact over a potential deal and are understood to be planning a formal offer for the striker in the region of £40m. While Wolves are not actively looking to sell, that figure may prove too significant to ignore, particularly if relegation fears intensify.
The timing of Forest’s approach follows a timely reminder of Strand Larsen’s quality.

He struck a hat-trick in Wolves’ emphatic FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town on Saturday, ending a frustrating run of form that had seen him score just three goals in his previous 23 appearances across all competitions.
That performance has reignited interest in the forward, who remains highly rated internally at Wolves for his physical presence, link-up play, and potential ceiling. However, the club’s broader struggles have placed several key assets under scrutiny.
With Nottingham Forest keen to bolster their attacking options before the window shuts, and Wolves facing a critical period in their season, Strand Larsen’s future could be one of the defining transfer stories of late January.
