Wolves makes Jorgen Strand Larsen's move permanent after an impressive loan season
The Wolves said on Tuesday Strand Larson who came on loan from from Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo last year has a deal until 2029 after 'the striker achieved certain clauses in his contract which automatically turned his loan permanent.'
The 25-year-old scored 14 goals in 35 games for the Wolves in the Premier League last season, becoming the record scorer in his debut season for the club in the top flight, beating Raul Jimenez's 13 goals in the 2018-19 season.
'It's been a good first season in the Premier League,' Strand Larsen said. 'I'm proud of what I've done.'
In June, the Wolves signed another player from Celta Vigo, attacking midfielder Fer Lopez, on a five-year contract.

Euro 2025: Sweden beats Denmark yet again this year on Filippa Angeldahl's goal
GENEVA (AP) — Sweden swept past Denmark yet again on Friday, winning 1-0 at the Women's European Championship for a third victory this year over its near neighbor. One month after a 6-1 rout in Stockholm, Filippa Angeldahl's smart finish of a neat passing attack in the 55th minute was enough for an impressive Swedish team on another hot evening in Switzerland. Angeldahl severely tested Denmark goalkeeper Maja Bay Ostergaard to save a long-range free kick in the first half and beat her with more power in the second. The midfielder exchanged passes with captain Kosovare Asllani — making her 200th appearance for Sweden — before striding on to shoot low past Ostergaard's dive. Denmark star forward Pernille Harder's shot from distance rattled the Sweden crossbar in the 81st. Later Friday in Group C, favored Germany was playing Poland in St. Gallen. It was the third time Sweden and Denmark opened a Women's Euros facing each other and it ended 1-1 in both 2005 and 2013. Sweden beat Denmark twice in a Nations League group this year, starting with 2-1 in Odense in February. That time, Harder was marked toughly by veteran Sweden defender Magdalena Eriksson who has been her partner since 2014. Eriksson was a surprise absence from the lineup on Friday due to a muscle strain lingering since a warmup game. She was ably replaced by 38-year-old Linda Sembrant, playing her 157th game for Sweden. Playing in 86-degree heat (30 C) at the 6 p.m. kickoff, both teams took breaks for drinks several times in each half. The playing surface was mostly shaded by the stadium roof though fans along one length of the field were bathed in direct sunshine for the entire match. The drinks delays helped to add up to 16 minutes of total stoppage time, including a delay of more than four minutes for a video review early in the game. Denmark thought it might be getting a penalty kick for a foul on Harder. The free kick was eventually awarded to Sweden by Brazilian referee Edina Alves because winger Madelen Janogy was tripped by a Denmark player before falling into Harder. Yellow-clad fans at the Salève mountain end of the stadium brought classic Swedish pop music into the game. They sang in both halves to the tune of Abba's 'Lay All Your Love On Me' accompanied by a beating drum. Before kickoff the stadium observed a period of silence in memory of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota who died this week aged 28 in a car crash in Spain. ___

Family of Liverpool's Diogo Jota Gather for Wake After Fatal Car Crash
Family and friends of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother gathered at a chapel where their bodies were brought for a wake on Friday, a day after the Portuguese soccer players were killed in a car crash. Some hugged and wept before entering the Capela da Ressurreição São Cosme. The brothers' parents attended, as well as Jota's agent, Jorge Mendes. Mourners left flowers and candles next to a tree outside the chapel where visitation was held. Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa also visited to pay his respects. The chapel sits next to the Igreja Matriz de Gondomar church where the funeral for the siblings is planned for Saturday. Gondomar resident Ricardo Alves lamented the loss of the local star as he passed by. "It is a great sadness," he said. "Although I did not know him personally, he was from here and I knew many of his friends from the region where he lived. It is a great loss. He is a young man with a lot still to give, and he had a somewhat tragic fate." Jota, 28, and his brother, Andre Silva, 25, were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed on an isolated stretch of highway just after midnight on Thursday and burst into flames. Their bodies were repatriated to Portugal after being identified by the family, Spanish government officials said. Jota and his parents both have homes in Gondomar, where he started his playing career as a child. Gondomar is a working-class town next to Porto, where Jota was born. Jota's death occurred two weeks after he married long-time partner Rute Cardoso while on vacation from a long season where he helped Liverpool win the Premier League. The couple had three children, with the youngest born last year. Spanish police are investigating the cause of the crash, which did not involve another vehicle, they said. They said they believe it could have been caused by a blown tire. Jota's brother Silva played for Portuguese club Penafiel in the lower divisions. The loss was felt sharply in his hometown, especially at his first soccer club, where Jota started playing at age 9. "He never forgot his roots, nor his friends, because he had a group of friends who were with him in the training here in Gondomar and who he even invited from time to time to go and watch Liverpool games in England," Gondomar SC director Anselmo Serra told The Associated Press. "They were like a group of friends that he never forgot over the years." Heading to England via boat Jota and his brother were driving overnight to catch a boat from Santander, on Spain's northern coast, to go to England to rejoin Liverpool, when they crashed, according to Portuguese media. Portuguese sports website Record published a video interview with Miguel Goncalves, who said he worked as a physical therapist for Jota. Gonçalves told Record that Jota was avoiding flying due to a lung condition that he recently treated. "I was in his house at night for a last treatment," Gonçalves said. "He was proud to have recovered from his pulmonary problem. He was happy to be with his brother. They were excited to spend some time together on the trip." Spanish police have yet to say which brother was driving. Liverpool mourns Jota Condolences poured in from Portuguese officials and the world of soccer as news of the accident spread. A moment of silence was held before Portugal played Spain at the Women's European Championship in Switzerland late Thursday. For a second day, Liverpool fans laid flowers and scarves outside Anfield Stadium. Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was among those to place a bouquet at the impromptu memorial to Jota. Liverpool's players are not due back from their summer break until Monday. Mohamed Salah wrote on social media that it will be hard to return to the team without Jota. "Teammates come and go, but not like this," Salah wrote. "It's going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won't be there when we go back. My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. "Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten." Reporting by The Associated Press. Get more from English Premier League Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more in this topic
