Crystal Palace Eyes Wolves Striker Amid Mateta Exit Talks

Crystal Palace is gearing up to make a formal bid for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen as they seek attacking reinforcements before the January transfer deadline. Wolves are reportedly willing to consider a sale, with Crystal Palace expected to offer a bid close to £55 million.

This move comes as Jean-Philippe Mateta expresses his desire to leave Crystal Palace, attracting interest from clubs like Juventus, AC Milan, and Nottingham Forest, who have lodged a £35 million bid. Mateta is keen on playing Champions League football, making Forest's proposal an enticing financial option.

Crystal Palace's pursuit of Strand Larsen is likely to accelerate Mateta's departure as the transfer window nears its close.
