Wolves manager Vitor Pereira was keen to retain Strand Larsen's services, as the team faced competition from Newcastle United, who were looking to replace the departing Alexander Isak. Pereira has also signed a new three-year deal, despite the team's sluggish start to the season.

Pereira highlighted the importance of Strand Larsen's signing, praising his technical, tactical, and personal qualities. He expressed his hope that Strand Larsen will be able to return to the team soon, after a brief absence due to a medical issue.

Strand Larsen is yet to score in the Premier League this season, but Wolves face a potentially vulnerable Leeds United team this weekend, who have conceded six goals in their first four games.
