Wolves Pursue Striker Reinforcement with Che Adams Talks
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly initiated discussions to acquire striker Che Adams from Italian Serie A side Torino, as the club seeks to bolster its attacking options during the final days of the January transfer window. This development comes amid growing speculation surrounding the potential departure of current Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Rob Edwards Faces Transfer Deadline Pressure
Manager Rob Edwards, who returned to Molineux in November, has yet to make his first signing since his reappointment. With the winter transfer window closing imminently, time is rapidly diminishing for Wolves to secure new personnel. The club finds itself in a precarious Premier League position, anchored at the bottom of the table with a mere eight points from twenty-three matches, having scored only fifteen goals all season.
Che Adams Open to Premier League Return
According to reports from talkSPORT and Sky Sports, Wolves are currently engaged in positive dialogue with Torino regarding a deal for the Scotland international. Adams, who joined Torino from Southampton in 2024 after helping secure their Premier League promotion, is said to be receptive to a return to English football. His contract in Turin expires next summer, potentially making a January sale appealing to his current club to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old forward previously enjoyed a successful spell at Birmingham City, where he scored prolifically before a £15 million move to Southampton in 2019. His potential arrival at Wolves could set up intriguing Championship derby encounters next season, should Birmingham City fail to achieve promotion and Wolves suffer relegation.
Jorgen Strand Larsen's £50 Million Exit Nears Completion
Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds the future of Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, with Crystal Palace having reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign the Norwegian international. BBC Sport indicates the transfer fee could reach approximately £50 million, comprising £45 million upfront with £5 million in potential add-ons. This development follows earlier speculation that Palace's interest had waned after they secured Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa.
Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has corroborated these reports, issuing his characteristic 'here we go' confirmation regarding Strand Larsen's impending move to Selhurst Park. Should this transfer be finalised, Wolves would realise a substantial profit on the player, providing significant financial resources amidst their challenging season.
Relegation Battle Intensifies Transfer Urgency
Wolves' desperate league position, sitting eighteen points from safety, underscores the critical importance of their January transfer business. The potential acquisition of Che Adams represents a strategic attempt to inject much-needed firepower into their struggling attack, while the prospective sale of Strand Larsen could fund further reinforcements. As the transfer deadline approaches, the club's activity in the market will be closely watched by supporters and analysts alike, with outcomes potentially shaping their fortunes for the remainder of this difficult campaign and beyond.
