Crystal Palace have completed the club-record signing of Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves.
Strand Larsen has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract and moves to Selhurst Park in a package worth £48million, Press Association understands.
Palace made a move for Strand Larsen after they granted Jean-Philippe Mateta’s wish to leave the club in this winter transfer window.
Mateta’s proposed deadline-day switch to Serie A giants AC Milan has since fallen through, but it failed to stop Palace’s pursuit of Strand Larsen and they will pay an initial £43m with a further £5m included in the deal in add-ons.
Strand Larsen scored 14 goals for Wolves in the 2024-25 campaign to help steer them clear of relegation concerns and will aim to do the same at Palace, who are without a win in 12 matches in all competitions.
Palace chairman Steve Paris said: “We’re delighted that Jorgen has chosen to continue his impressive journey with us and look forward to seeing him in action at Selhurst Park.
“I’m sure he will prove himself a valuable asset for years to come.”
Strand Larsen, 25, added: “I’m really excited to come to Crystal Palace. It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time now.
“I’m here to bring energy and goals, and to try to do my best for the club.”
