Jorgen Strand Larsen decides on winter transfer as Leeds United receive major boost
Leeds United’s chances of landing the signing of Jorgen Strand Larsen may have just been boosted.
Daniel Farke is still eying more winter reinforcements at Elland Road as he looks to keep the Whites in the Premier League.
As things stand, Leeds sit eight points clear of the bottom three, but that advantage can be reduced in a flash if results start going against them.
That is why the Whites are still looking to add more quality to their squad, with Strand Larsen one of those linked with a move to Elland Road.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has already decided his next destination
Strand Larsen would be a shrewd addition for Leeds, though, to come to that conclusion, you would have to look past his record in the current campaign.
The 25-year-old has scored just one goal in the Premier League this season, compared to his 14 last season, though he has scored six goals and two assists in all competitions.
A big reason for that, and perhaps the only reason, is Wolves’ struggles as a team.
At Leeds, he would complement Dominic Calvert-Lewin perfectly, and the chances of that being their attacking duo may have just been boosted.
That is because Sky Sports have reported that Strand Larsen wants to stay in the Premier League, despite interest from elsewhere in Europe.
Leeds are one of three teams to have made an approach for the Norwegian, who could cost in the region of £40million.
Where would Strand Larsen place in Leeds’ record signings?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Strand Larsen would become Leeds’ most expensive signing in their history, though not by an awful amount.
The Whites spent in the region of £35m to bring Georginio Rutter to Elland Road back in 2022, with Brenden Aaronson their current second-most expensive arrival.
However, Leeds are believed to be working on a structured deal for Strand Larsen, with a view to it being better for their PSR position.
With 11 days left in the winter transfer window, time is slowly starting to run out for the Whites to reach an agreement, though it’s also fair to say that it wouldn’t be the end of the world if Leeds miss out on this one.
