Wolves have signed Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen on a season-long loan deal which will become permanent if certain clauses are triggered.

The 24-year-old moves to Molineux from Celta Vigo, with whom he scored 13 goals in La Liga last season.

The 6ft 4in forward, who has won 14 caps for his country, will add another dimension to Wolves’ forward line which has been missing height and power since Raul Jimenez left for Fulham at the start of last season.

Sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club’s official website: “Everyone knows that bringing in a number nine was really important to us this summer, and Jorgen was our number one target for the position, so we are really pleased to have signed him.

“He’s a great guy, who’s got a really good charisma and a great personality, and although he’s still young, still learning and still developing, he’s shown that he can score goals, and puts a lot of work and running in for the rest of the team. We talk a lot about humility at this football club, and he fits that perfectly.

“In Jorgen, we’re getting a guy whose career is on the way up and we hope to keep helping him improve and develop so he can get to the levels we think he can reach.”
