The Norwegian national team striker has lived in the shadow of Erling Haaland and then Alexander Haaland. Then came last season, where the former Sarpsborg 08 player scored his way onto the radar of several big clubs. So when Newcastle risk losing Alexander Isak, the Premier League’s best striker, it is natural that Strand Larsen is promoted as a candidate.
Although Eddie Howe is convinced Isak will stay for another season, the Newcastle manager admits that anything can happen. With his 14 Premier League goals last season for the league, Strand Larsen is the 16th best club on Newcastle’s list of candidates, reports the BBC.
A real recognition of the results Strand Larsen has fought his way to in the world’s toughest league. For us, the 25-year-old also has the Premier League’s best goal celebration. Where Haaland and the other superstars do everything to look cool, Strand Larsen erupts into an uninhibited and genuine football joy celebration after his goals.
