The most important thing for pretty much all the Norwegian players out in the big world is the sport, that there is a good environment, camaraderie, good people and loyalty.
Money is of course important, but far more important that you have a good time with good people!. Newcastle, who are likely to lose Alexander Isak in the form of a sale, loan, strike or ban, have already been at Wolverhampton with an offer of 60 million euros and a sharp increase in the salary of Jørgen Strand Larsen.

The Norwegian striker earns “nothing” compared to what others earn and the level he has. – At £15,000 a week, he is one of the Premier League’s poorly paid starters. That’s about 20% of what Newcastle pay the player he’s supposed to replace.
Wolverhampton offers Strand Larsen new deal – will prevent giant sale
According to The Telegraph, Wolverhampton are preparing to offer Jørgen Strand Larsen a new and improved contract in a desperate attempt to keep hold of the Norwegian striker. The high-scoring Norwegian is not only wanted by Newcastle, so the offer of a higher salary is certainly not so bad.

The newspaper reports that Wolves management is now acting quickly to ensure that the club’s Norwegian goalscorer does not disappear. On Monday, several British media outlets, including the BBC and The Athletic, confirmed that Wolves have rejected an opening bid from Newcastle for Strand Larsen.
Newcastle are on the hunt for a new striker after selling Callum Wilson to West Ham in the summer, while fearing that star striker Alexander Isak could leave. Strand Larsen will be high on manager Eddie Howe’s wish list.
However, Wolves show no interest in selling their Norwegian star. According to The Telegraph, the club considers it too late in the transfer window to find a worthy replacement. For Wolves to change their minds, there would have to be a monster bid of around £75 million – over one billion Norwegian kroner.
The journey so far:
- Scored 14 goals for Wolverhampton in his debut season in the Premier League
- Established himself as one of the league’s most effective strikers
- Has successfully adapted to the level of the world’s toughest league
- Now been part of the national team of Norway
In the next few weeks, a national team gathering with Norway awaits, where matches against Finland and Moldova are on the agenda.
