WOLVES are closing in on a deal to sign Celta Vigo striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
The Norway ace, who can also play on the wing, is set to join on loan for an initial £3million and will have a medical tomorrow.
The deal can be made permanent next summer for a further £23m.
Larsen, 24, attracted interest from Prem and Serie A clubs after scoring 13 goals last season.
But Wolves have moved into pole position after opening talks with the striker’s representatives.
The forward will bring international experience to Molineux, having won 14 caps for Norway.
He has also scored three international goals since making his debut aged 20 in 2020.
Larsen’s international exploits have also seen him star alongside Erling Haaland.
The Manchester City hitman lined up with Larsen for Norway’s under-17s during their teenage years.
Haaland and Larsen have also played together on five occasions for the senior side.

Prior to joining Celta Vigo in 2022, Larsen previously spent two years in the Netherlands with Groningen.
He also had a loan spell with AC Milan from boyhood club Sarpsborg as a teenager.
Larsen will become Gary O’Neil’s fourth signing of the summer when he completes his move.
Wolves have already signed full-backs Rodrigo Gomes and Pedro Lima ahead of next season.
Meanwhile, Tommy Doyle’s loan from City has been made permanent.
