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.

Former Gunner named as Premier League club captain
Just a couple of weeks after signing for the club, former Gunner Granit Xhaka has been named the new captain of Sunderland AFC. Photo via Granit Xhaka joined Sunderland AFC on a three-year deal in late July, leaving Bayer Leverkusen after two seasons and three trophies with the German club. Xhaka's new club have clearly already taken to him, as just a fortnight after his arrival he's been named their club captain. 'It makes me incredibly proud to be captain of this Club and of this team,' Xhaka said. 'I hope to show my leadership on and off the pitch, helping my team-mates in the training ground and across the Club. 'To be part of Sunderland's history, alongside some of the names who have worn the armband before, is an honour. People who know me know exactly what they'll get – I'm someone who demands a lot. I'm a winner and I want to win – and I expect the same from my team-mates.' Photo byXhaka had also worn the captain's armband at Borussia Mönchengladbach and Arsenal, though perhaps the less said the better about the latter stint. The midfielder is also wearing the number 34 shirt at Sunderland, just as he did at Arsenal. Sunderland spent in the region of €20m (£17.2m) for Xhaka, and they clearly intend for him to be a key part of their team in 2025/26. Photo byBefore his move to Leverkusen, Xhaka spent seven years in the Premier League with Arsenal. The 32-year-old won two FA Cups and two Community Shields with the Gunners. 2025/26 will bring his first competitive fixtures playing against his old club, with the two clubs set to meet on the weekend of November 8-9th.

Two English giants want to sign Lookman in addition to Arsenal
Great English interest in the talented Nigerian Getty Images The Nigerian international's future remains uncertain, but the former Everton player believes he wants to leave Atalanta for a fresh start amid interest from a number of major clubs around the world, including Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Liverpool. Great interest from English clubs other than Arsenal Although the Gunners' interest has been clearly stated and widely reported in the official media, there are several other English clubs interested in signing the player, including Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur have also recently joined the race. The race for Ademola Lookman's signature is intensifying, with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa now joining Arsenal in pursuit of the Nigerian international. However, Serie A giants Inter Milan currently lead the chase for the in-demand forward, according to Sports Boom reports. Since his 2022 move from RB Leipzig to Atalanta, the 27-year-old has transformed into one of Europe's most dangerous attackers. His remarkable 2023/24 campaign yielded 20 goals and 7 assists across 40 appearances, highlighted by a stunning Europa League final hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen. These exploits earned Lookman the prestigious 2024 African Footballer of the Year award and cemented his status as one of the continent's premier talents. With multiple top clubs now vying for his services, the upcoming transfer window could see one of Europe's most hotly-contested battles for the prolific forward's signature.
