Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has agreed a new deal contract until 2030, just over two months after the Norway international joined the club permanently.The five-year contract with the option for an extra year, comes after Wolves rejected bids of £50m and £55m from Newcastle in the summer.Strand Larsen, 25, scored 14 goals on loan from Celta Vigo last season as he helped Wolves finish 16th in the Premier League before sealing a £23m move in July.Wolves boss Vitor Pereira, who himself signed a new three-year deal on Thursday, says Strand Larsen’s commitment is “very good news” for the club and its fansHe added: “If we want to take a step to be on another level, we need players like Larsen, because it’s not only about his tactical and technical ability, it’s about his spirit and personality.”Strand Larsen has scored two goals this season, both in the EFL Cup win over West Ham, but has missed the last two games with an Achilles injury. Speaking about his new deal, he said: “I’ve been incredibly happy here at Wolves.”Signing a new deal shows that my commitment is here, I’m happy here, I love all my friends and teammates, the fans are amazing, and we just want to make it a better season than last year.”I’ve signed a new deal, more years at Wolves, which is perfect for me – the club’s happy, I’m happy myself, so I’m ready to get back on the pitch now.”The most important thing for me is to come back to the pitch and for us to start winning and get out of the bad start we had.”Wolves, who sit bottom of the table, host Leeds on Saturday having lost their opening four Premier League games and are hopeful Strand Larsen will be fit enough to make the bench.
