Tottenham Hotspur are now being kept informed about a "phenomenal" Premier League forward, with his club open to a sale during the current window.
Spurs keen on new striker amid attacking woes
Tottenham were booed off after the 1-1 draw against Sunderland on Sunday, which means they now sit 13th in the Premier League table, and it is no surprise, considering another lacklustre attacking display was offered up.
Spurs once again failed to create a significant number of good opportunities, recording an xG of just 1.18 throughout the match, just days after putting in a disappointing display against Brentford, which former midfielder Jamie O'Hara criticised.
Something clearly needs to change, with Thomas Frank either needing to implement a more attractive brand of football, or to strengthen his squad in the current transfer window.
The Lilywhites have already set out to sign a new winger, identifying the likes of AS Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande as potential targets, and they are also looking at bringing in a new centre-forward.
That is according to a report from TEAMtalk, which states Tottenham are one of a number of clubs to have enquired about Wolverhampton Wanderers' Jorgen Strand Larsen, and they are now being kept informed about the striker's situation.
Wolves are now willing to sanction Strand Larsen's departure for a fee of £40m this month - £20m less than their previous price tag - given that his value is likely to drop further at the end of the season, with Rob Edwards' side almost certain to be relegated from the top flight.
Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham are also being notified about the Norwegian, alongside Newcastle United, so there could be widespread competition for his signature.
"Phenomenal" Strand Larsen needs fresh start
The Old Gold have amassed just six points all season in the Premier League, and their striker has failed to make an impact, having only found the back of the net on one occasion.
However, the 24-time Norway international has proven he is capable of delivering in the top flight, netting a very respectable 14 goals in 35 games to help fire Wolves to safety in the 2024-25 campaign.
With his side staring down the barrel of relegation, the centre-forward needs a fresh start, and his goal record indicates he would be able to kick on elsewhere, while Vitor Pereira also dubbed his former striker "phenomenal" earlier this year.
That said, it would be a gamble to sign Strand Larsen, considering his current form, and Richarlison has impressed at times this season, netting seven Premier League goals.
