WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Wolverhampton announced Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has become its permanent player after an impressive season on loan with the Premier League club.

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.

Tottenham close to finalising Djed Spence contract extension
Tottenham Hotspur are close to finalising a new deal for full-back Djed Spence. The 25-year-old was one of the breakout stars of last season under Ange Postecoglou, and has been rewarded for his progress with a new improved contract at Spurs. Spence still had almost three years left on his current deal, which was last extended in October 2024. Talks have moved fast this month to secure his long-term future at the club. Advertisement The full-back struggled to make in impact in his first few years at Spurs, and was written off as a 'club signing' by then-head coach Antonio Conte in summer 2022 almost as soon as he arrived from Nottingham Forest. Three loan spells followed, at Rennes, Leeds United and Genoa, with questions about his attitude and application. But Spence was trusted by Postecoglou last season and started his first ever game for Spurs in December 2024. He quickly showed why he was such a highly-rated player, starting 19 games in all competitions. Postecoglou used Spence at both left- and right-back, and he looked equally comfortable on either side. And given Spence's excellent 2024-25 season, it was inevitable that Tottenham would open talks about improving his terms to secure his stay at the club. After leaving Fulham's academy, Spence joined Championship club Middlesbrough in 2018, making his debut in August of that year, shortly after his 18th birthday. Spence made 70 appearances for the club before joining Nottingham Forest on loan for the 2021-22 season, becoming a key part of the team that earned promotion to the Premier League for the first time in more than 20 years.

Liverpool closing in on agreement to sign World Cup winner
Liverpool are closing in on signing a world champion with an agreement on personal terms already in place. The club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, has done an excellent job this summer. But Liverpool are far from done. No, they are just about to end the summer transfer window with another bang. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! The Reds caused mayhem earlier on in the window with a flurry of new signings that saw Florian Wirtz arrive for a club record fee, followed by Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. In between, around the middle of the window there was also the arrival of Hugo Ekitike, who looks to be a gem. And now they are set to be followed by three more arrivals, most notably Alexander Isak, who the Reds are still very keen on. He is not the only player sought after and who Liverpool are closing in on. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Hughes also needs to address the centre-back department. At this moment in time, Arne Slot has just two available centre-backs with Joe Gomez out injured. In the event that either Ibrahima Konate or Virgil van Dijk get injured or suspended, he'd have to use Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch as a back-up option. That's not a tenable position to be in. Which is why Richard Hughes is on the case to change that. Liverpool are working on signing Giovanni Leoni, who will be a replacement for Jarell Quansah. But they are also closing in on a deal for Marc Guehi.
