Jorgen Strand-Larsen spotted hanging out with Wolves target amid rumours he could join

Wolves players are having a well-earned break following their second half of the season under Vitor Pereira before they begin their preseason training for the next campaign.

This may see players take time with their families or go on holiday with friends as they look to decompress ahead of another gruelling campaign.

One of Vitor Pereira’s squad to have opted for the latter is one of their strikers, Jorgen Strand-Larsen, as he was spotted enjoying time in a boat in the middle of the sea.

However, while it may be assumed he is just enjoying his time off, the Wolves striker may be working overtime for his club, now seemingly employed as an agent for Pereira.

Jorgen Strand-Larsen was spotted hanging out with Wolves target Fer Lopez

Wolves have been linked to signing Celta Vigo midfielder Fer Lopez as a replacement for Matheus Cunha as he finalised his move to Manchester United.

Jorgen Strand-Larsen just so happens to be a former teammate of Fer Lopez from their time playing in La Liga for the Galician club.

The Norwegian striker now seems to be hanging out with Wolves target Fer Lopez while on holiday from the club before pre-season, leading to speculation that the Spaniard will join this summer.

While it is just speculation, it will be encouraging, as we have seen in the past, like with Trent Alexander-Arnold moving to Real Madrid to be closer to his friend Jude Bellingham, that friendships can help in transfer negotiations.

Who is Fer Lopez?

He is an exciting Spanish talent but has never left his home nation, playing all his football in Galicia despite being from Madrid.

Lopez spent a season on loan at Gran Peña while being contracted to Celta Vigo, allowing him to develop, and since then he has not looked back.

The 21-year-old has become a vital part of the Celta squad despite being so young, seeing a lot of interest in the Spaniard.

This season was a breakout year as he featured in 17 matches, scoring two goals, with his role being a creative one helping the club achieve European football for next season.
