The details of Jorgen Strand Larsen's new deal
The 25-year-old Norwegian international has agreed to a new five-year deal with an option for a further year.
Crucially, there is no release clause in the new contract, which will prevent a repeat of the Matheus Cunha situation, where the striker left after his release clause was triggered by Manchester United.
The new deal is a reward for Strand Larsen's superb form last season, where he scored 14 goals in 35 appearances for Wolves.
The striker was reportedly keen on a move to Newcastle, but he would not force a transfer, and the new contract is a clear sign of his commitment to the club.
A huge boost for Wolves
The new contract for Strand Larsen is a huge statement of intent from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The club has secured one of its most valuable assets, rewarding the striker for his impressive form and sending a clear message to other clubs that their key players are not for sale.
The new deal, which reportedly does not include a release clause, is a huge victory for the club and their long-term vision.
For Wolves, the new contract will give the club much-needed stability and a platform on which to build momentum.
Strand Larsen is a key part of manager Vitor Pereira’s plans, and his presence in attack gives the team a platform on which to build.
The striker has said he is "proud of what I've done" and is looking forward to the future with the club.
