Joergen Strand Larsen has told Wolves he favours a move to Leeds United, offering height, hold-up play and Premier League experience. If completed, punters could back Leeds to score over 1.5 goals or consider Larsen as an anytime scorer; his signing would likely shorten Leeds’ match and season odds. Contract runs to 2030, so expect a sizeable fee or loan negotiations this window.
Joergen Strand Larsen eyes Leeds moves as Whites search for attacking firepower
Joergen Strand Larsen has reportedly indicated a preference to join Leeds United this month, drawing attention from Daniel Farke’s side as they seek to bolster their attack. The Norwegian striker’s Premier League exposure and physical profile make him an intriguing January target for the Yorkshire club.
Current form and statistical snapshot
Larsen, 25, has produced a steady campaign with six goals and two assists in 25 appearances across all competitions this season. He averages roughly 1.30 shots per 90 minutes and places around 35% of his attempts on target, underlining his threat in and around the box. Standing at 1.93m, Larsen is an aerial presence who can contribute hold-up play, link-up combinations and occasional creative spark in the final third.
Why he fits Daniel Farke’s squad
Larsen’s blend of physicality and technical ability suits a side that needs a focal point in attack. He can compete directly with Dominic Calvert-Lewin for starts, provide a different outlet in wide or direct situations, and offer competition that could sharpen Leeds’ forward options. His existing Premier League experience suggests a shorter adaptation period if a move goes through.
Contract situation and transfer outlook
Larsen is contracted until the summer of 2030, which reduces the likelihood of a bargain transfer and increases the chance Wolves will demand a significant fee. That makes a permanent January switch tricky, leaving room for loan talk or a summer move if Leeds prefer to wait and plan financially.
Implications for betting markets
Bookmakers would likely adjust several markets if Larsen arrives: Leeds’ goals-per-game expectation could rise, shortening odds on Over 1.5 or Over 2.5 goals in matches he starts.
Larsen would become a contender in anytime goalscorer markets and could shift outright seasonal odds for Leeds’ league objectives.
Punters should monitor confirmation and expected role before placing markets linked to starts or scoring props.
