Crystal Palace Caution as Leeds United Just £10m Away From Dramatic Premier League Transfer Hijack

Crystal Palace plan a formal bid near £50 million to sign Wolves striker Jürgen Strand Larsen amid uncertainty over Jean-Philippe Mateta's contract and future.

  • The Athletic's David Ornstein reported that Palace sources say they are close to submitting a formal bid for Jørgen Strand Larsen after agreements with Wolves, Thursday.
  • With Jean-Philippe Mateta, Palace's top scorer, potentially leaving in January, the club is pursuing Strand Larsen amid ongoing uncertainty.
  • Wolves value the striker at 55,000,000, with Leeds United having bids rejected up to 40,000,000, Wolves boss Rob Edwards said.
  • The transfer race now suggests Crystal Palace would need to break their club-record fee again after signing Brennan Johnson, though rivals are reluctant to bid and Leeds United could still hijack.
  • Strand Larsen's profile shows 14 goals last season but one this term, and with 18 months left on his Wolves contract he reportedly wants Champions League football.
