Strand Larsen Joins Palace, Mateta Stays There
Crystal Palace secured Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen for £43 million plus £5 million in add-ons to strengthen their attack amid key squad changes, manager Oliver Glasner said.
- On Feb 3, 2026, Crystal Palace confirmed the signing of Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a four-and-a-half-year contract.
- After Marc Guehi's departure and Glasner's call for January reinforcements last month, Palace pursued a striker with Jean-Philippe Mateta linked to a move, but the deal collapsed after additional tests.
- Reports vary on the fee, with Strand Larsen, who joined Wolves in 2024 from Celta Vigo, making 54 Premier League appearances and scoring 15 goals, costing about £48 million, including add-ons.
- Palace chairman Steve Parish added: `We're delighted that J�rgen has chosen to continue his impressive journey with us and look forward to seeing him in action at Selhurst Park.` Strand Larsen's arrival bolsters the squad as the club's second big buy after Brennan Johnson, with Mateta still at the club.
- Against a busy market, Palace completed the move late on transfer deadline day, with reports they beat Leeds United and Nottingham Forest for the deal and are still considering three targets including Joel Ordonez.
