The promising midfield star has attracted the attention of the Magpies, but he may have to wait until the summer to get a deal done.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, their focus could shift back to the front lines. According to TeamTalk, Newcastle this month signed Jorgen Strand Larsen for a cut price of almost \u00a340m, after he was said to have cost as much as \u00a360m in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"newcastle-receive-go-ahead-to-sign-strand-larsen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_get_green_light_to_sign_Strand_Larsen\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Newcastle get green light to sign Strand Larsen<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wolverhampton Wanderers are now reportedly willing to sell the forward for a reduced price before his value falls further with relegation to the Championship looking inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Newcastle are back in the race to secure his contract and finish what they started in the summer. It was no secret that just a few months ago those at St James&#8217; Park were desperate to sign Strand-Larsen, and he has struggled in the Midlands ever since, but now they have the ideal opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>    There is no denying that the Norwegian has struggled this season after scoring 14 goals in his debut season, but Wolves&#8217; situation has to be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>If Alan Shearer&#8217;s accolades are anything to go by from last season, Strand Larsen is certainly still worth pursuing. The Newcastle legend said after Wolves&#8217; win over Ipswich last season. <em>&#8220;He was a nuisance. I thought his hold-up play was great and his touch and control was great.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that Newcastle are finally completing their front line, with no more praise than on Tyneside.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United are now reported to have given the green light to sign the Premier League star, who manager Alan Shearer previously described as &#8220;fantastic&#8221;.
