WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Wolverhampton announced Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has become its permanent player after an impressive season on loan with the Premier League club.
The Wolves said on Tuesday Strand Larson who came on loan from from Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo last year has a deal until 2029 after “the striker achieved certain clauses in his contract which automatically turned his loan permanent.”
The 25-year-old scored 14 goals in 35 games for the Wolves in the Premier League last season, becoming the record scorer in his debut season for the club in the top flight, beating Raul Jimenez’s 13 goals in the 2018-19 season.
“It’s been a good first season in the Premier League,” Strand Larsen said. “I’m proud of what I’ve done.”
In June, the Wolves signed another player from Celta Vigo, attacking midfielder Fer Lopez, on a five-year contract.
