Striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has officially become a permanent Wolves player following his initial season-long loan from Celta Vigo last year.
The Norwegian international had an outstanding first season in Old Gold, scoring 14 times in the Premier League.
Larsen joined from Celta Vigo with a limited number of appearances, turning the original loan into a requirement to purchase.
That clause was activated early last season, and the 25-year-old will now remain at Molineux for four more years, until 2029.
Wolves initially paid a loan fee of approximately £2.5m and will now pay an additional £23m to finalize the deal.
“It’s been a good first season in the Premier League,” said Strand Larsen.
“I’m proud of what I’ve done. I’ve been able to take the steps quite earlier than I’ve done before. Previously when I moved to a new country, I’ve needed more time to get into it and score goals.
“As a striker, the team need you to score the goals and be on the end of the crosses, so to score 14 goals – and come back after my injuries and a little dip of form – it was a good season for me in that respect.
“Since Vitor (Pereira) and his staff came in, I scored eight goals, and seven goals in seven or eight games, so it was a good end of the season, and as a team we progressed in a really good way for next season.”
Strand Larsen established himself as a vital component in Pereira’s attack, concluding last season with the highest goals for Wolves from a Premier League debutant in history – surpassing Raul Jimenez’s 2018/19 record of 13.
“Hopefully we can all come back in a good shape, get the working boots back on and have a nice pre-season ready to go again,” he added.
“It will be good to have a pre-season together with Vitor, the coaches, the staff and the players, because that obviously helps. We will have more time to work on things we couldn’t work on during the season, and it also gives the coaches more time with us off the pitch as well.
“We showed last season that we can beat anyone, and we are also a very tough team to beat, and that’s what we want to aim for. We obviously want to show that again next year, so hopefully we can build on it.”
Wolves will resume pre-season training at Compton next week.
