A gift for Farke: Leeds submit official bid to Wolves for Jørgen Strand Larsen. But what's the catch?

The Norwegian striker could be on the move this winter transfer window.

Details: According to renowned journalist and insider Ben Jacobs on his X social media page, Leeds have made an official offer to Wolverhampton for the 25-year-old Norwegian forward Jørgen Strand Larsen.

It is reported that the initial talks took place last week, but Wolves rejected Leeds' proposal, stating they would not accept less than £40 million for the transfer. Now, Leeds have made a second attempt to reach an agreement with Wolverhampton.
