Jorgen Strand Larsen and agent like Leeds United transfer as late update revealed
Leeds United are pushing hard to sign Jorgen Stand Larsen this winter.
Leeds drew 1-1 with Everton on Monday to push six points clear of the relegation zone, with Daniel Farke given one task in survival.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha have been sensational this season, but the feeling is that more firepower would be heavily welcomed.
That’s where Strand Larsen comes in.
Leeds have offered Wolves £39million for Strand Larsen, but that offer was rejected as talks continue over a late deal before 2 February.
Leeds only bidders for Jorgen Strand Larsen so far
David Ornstein has shared the latest on the Norwegian striker at Molineux as we enter the final week of the hectic winter window.
Leeds are said to be the only bidders so far, but Crystal Palace are starting to strengthen their interest.

It is widely shared that Pederson is a Leeds fan.
Leeds and PSR could create some trouble
Leeds did say in the summer that they had maxxed out PSR.
So, it begs the question – where has this money suddenly come from?
There was anger amongst the fans at Elland Road after a quiet end to the first transfer window of the season, so they could have just been covering up some late failures.
Harry Wilson was one player they tried to sign and failed, so there was clearly some room in the PSR situation for the 49ers and Paraag Marathe.
Facundo Buonanotte is the only signing so far on loan this month, with Jack Harrison also leaving temporarily before a possible permanent move to Fiorentina.
That doesn’t shift the dial of PSR by much, so maybe Leeds were just holding their cards close to their chest to try and pull off a sensational deal such as Strand Larsen this month.
With six days to go and one bid already made, it could be make or break for Leeds if they want to seal a huge move for Strand Larsen.
