They need a quality striker if they want to improve their hopes of survival. They have been very mediocre this season and scoring goals on a regular basis has been a challenge for them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jorgen_Strand_Larsen_on_West_Hams_radar\"><\/span>Jorgen Strand Larsen on West Ham&#8217;s radar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Norwegian scored 14 goals for Wolves last season but hasn&#8217;t had much success this season. He has found the back of the net just three times for a Premier League club. Perhaps a fresh start would be ideal for him as well. The Norwegian has the qualities to help West Ham develop, but the Hammers will want to sign him for a reasonable fee. It seems highly unlikely that any club would pay \u00a340 million for a player who has scored just three goals this season.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_the_Wolves_afford_to_lose_Larsen\"><\/span>Can the Wolves afford to lose Larsen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-414x283.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-630x431.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-768x525.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-770x527.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-900x616.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1-1200x821.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-manchester-city-premier-league-1.jpg.webp 1468w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jorgen Strand Larsen of Wolverhampton Wanderers (Photo: Alex Pantling\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Wolves are also fighting for survival in the Premier League.
