All credit to Newcastle with a 4-1 win at St. James’ Park against Manchester United, but for Ruben Amorim another blow in the Premier League. There is a lot that is not right, the recurring big problem is that the strikers are not able to score. Zirkzee had an important goal in the Europa League against Lyon, but back in the Premier League it says stop. Højlund also failed to do what he was brought in for in 2022. A few hours earlier, Jørgen Strand Larsen had done the job – for the fourth PL game in a row.
Wolverhampton won convincingly over Tottenham on Sunday 4-2. Jørgen Strand Larsen took advantage of the chance for an “easy” goal, after an ugly mistake in the Spurs defence. This was the Norwegian’s fifth goal in the last four league games!

A total of 12 Premier League goals from the Norwegian international, in comparison, Zirkzee and Højlund have 6 Premier League goals – combined.
Manchester United are looking for a striker who delivers in the Premier League, how about making a phone call to Wolverhampton and Strand Larsen this summer? This is a striker who really delivers.
