Wolverhampton made two smart and much-needed moves that saved their place in the Premier League. – They brought in Vítor Pereira as their new manager and loaned striker Jørgen Strand Larsen from Celta Vigo.
A few days ago, the loan deal for a Norwegian striker was made permanent in a transfer worth 27 million euros.

Jørgen Strand Larsen knows what David Møller Wolfe is good for
David Møller Wolfe on the transfer to Wolves:
“It feels absolutely incredible. I am so, so happy and proud to be part of Wolves. I’m in seventh heaven right now.”
“I felt very wanted from the very first conversation with Domenico [sporting director] and the coach. The Premier League is a big, big league – especially in Norway. It’s the biggest league people follow, so when a Premier League club like Wolverhampton came for me, I was incredibly motivated to join.”
“I’m really looking forward to playing for Wolverhampton in front of the fans and can’t wait to face them.”
On a “Wolfe” who plays for Wolves:
“Personally, I think it’s pretty cool to have that last name and then play for Wolverhampton.”
“Me and my brothers actually joked a bit about it a few years ago, and now it’s becoming a reality. I almost think it was meant to happen.”
On what fans can expect:
“I’m an incredibly hard-working player who can run up and down the left wing for 90 minutes without a break. I give a lot of energy to the team and always do my best to help.”
“I’m very confident. I think I have the qualities needed in the Premier League. Here I get to play as a wingback, which gives me even more freedom to go on offensive runs – I’m looking forward to it!”
On recreating Eredivisie form at Wolves: “Two years ago,
my family and I made a decision to go to AZ Alkmaar as an intermediate step before the next big step.”
“Now I feel completely ready – ready for the Premier League and to perform for Wolverhampton. I am also very grateful to A-Z for helping me with this step.”
On reunion with Jørgen Strand Larsen:
“I have talked to Jørgen about the transfer. The first time a few weeks ago, and then again a few days ago. He has only positive things to say about the club, the people here, the fans and the city. I’m looking forward to meeting him and training with him again.”
“It’s exciting for me and Jørgen has a very good relationship off the pitch, so let’s hope we can build on that on the pitch as well.”
On meeting the new teammates:
“I can’t wait to train with the guys. I think I can start on Tuesday, and then we have a game on Saturday before the Premier League starts. I’m ready!”
“These are the games I’ve always dreamed of playing. To get Man City in the first leg is maybe the best thing that could have happened.”
The Norwegian full-back has signed for Wolverhampton or as the club writes “Wolfe is a Wolf”. – The transfer is said to cost around 12 million euros.
Wolves sold Rayan Aït-Nouri to Manchester City earlier this summer. Now the Premier League club have found a replacement at the left-back position.
David Moller Wolfe is ready for Wolverhampton from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.
Møller Wolfe made 92 appearances for AZ Alkmaar, scoring four goals and providing ten assists. He also has 12 caps for Norway.
Wolverhampton open the Premier League season on August 16 when they face Manchester City at home at Molineux Stadium.
