Strand Larsen was initially set to join Newcastle, but Wolves blocked the transfer. The club had made several offers for the striker, who had already signed a permanent deal with Wolves earlier in the summer. Despite the interest from Newcastle and the subsequent signing of a new contract, Larsen expressed that he could still leave if a Champions League club were to make another offer.

In an interview, Larsen stated, “It has been a tumultuous summer, but I'm glad it's over. I was affected by the transfer rumors, as who wouldn't want to take new steps in their career? However, I feel safe and valued at Wolves, and I've been given the captain's armband, which makes me feel important to the team.”

Larsen also emphasized the importance of taking new steps in his career and improving his skills. He believes that the more successful he is with Wolves, the better his chances will be in the future. He is focusing on getting better physically and mentally, and is open to new opportunities that may arise.

When asked about signing a new contract, Larsen said, “Yes, it was a positive development. It shows that my performance last season was recognized and rewarded.”
