Wolves fans have been reacting to reports that West Ham United are interested in signing Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has had a nightmare campaign so far for Wolves, scoring just one goal in the Premier League.
There was delight when he stayed after Newcastle United had pursued him so intensely at the end of the summer window.
Rate Jorgen Strand Larsen’s season so far out of 10…
He then signed a new contract, and the hope was that he’d kick on.
But Strand Larsen has been a major disappointment this term, with fans becoming extremely critical of him in recent weeks especially.
Some feel his body language and attitude haven’t been right, and now, amid the news that West Ham are interested in Strand Larsen, some think the club’s next move is clear.
Wolves fans think Jorgen Strand Larsen should be sold in January
There have undoubtedly been some factors behind Strand Larsen’s struggles this season.
He had an Achilles injury earlier in the season which saw him take a while to get up to speed.
He’s also suffered as a result of key, creative players leaving the club.
But for many, those things are no longer washing, and they now feel it’s time for Strand Larsen to be sold.
@MDU_2615: “We had 60M on the table this summer. I thought then if we sold him we were guaranteed relegation. However, it doesn’t matter anymore because we are going down. JSL’s body language says he doesn’t want to be here. The PK showed that. Get what we can get and let him go.”
Do you expect JSL to still be a Wolves player by the end of January?
The Norwegian is now wanted by West Ham, amongst others… 👀
@HappySoxFan: “Get him out. Tolu is much better anyway.”
@RyanDaniel58960: “Sell. He’s not been interested all season.
@DannyGarrad: “I will drop him off.”
@wwfc4256: “100%. Makes no difference now. Arias, Munetsi, Jackson can all go too and any decent offers on J Gomes and Andre should be considered. Start building for next season now.”
@Fantasyfootie1: “I imagine he is sitting in top spot for the list of players Wolves fans want out of the club. The player wanted out at the start of the campaign, didn’t get his move & was rewarded with a new contract. I’d be delighted to see him leave. We move on…”
@MolineuxExpress: “In hindsight, Wolves really should’ve sold him when they had the chance. I doubt Wolves get half the price that they could have in the summer with the way JSL is playing currently #wwfc”

Wolves should sell Strand Larsen to help fund rebuild
Wolves are not turning the situation around and it’s now going to be about preparing for life in the Championship.
That is the unfortunate reality – and selling Strand Larsen can help with this.
There will be no offers of £50 million and above coming in this time like there was in the summer.
But Wolves will hopefully still be able to make a profit on the £23 million they paid to sign him permanently from Celta Vigo.
At this point, there aren’t that many arguments for keeping Strand Larsen given how poorly he is playing.
From now, Edwards should make Tolu Arokodare his main striker, with Hwang Hee-chan, Mateus Mane and a new signing as options for cover.
