This season they were overly reliant on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He has performed very well for the newly promoted team, but they need more quality at their disposal. They are fighting for survival in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Larsen would be a great addition. He has shown his quality at Wolves in the Premier League and will be keen to step up and move to a bigger club. The Wolves are the favorites to win this season. He would not want to compete in the second tier of English football.<\/p>\n<p>However, Leeds are not immune to relegation. They are fighting for a spot in the top league next season. That being said, they are in a much better position compared to wolves. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the striker to join the club.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Leeds_be_able_to_get_a_deal_done_for_Larsen\"><\/span>Will Leeds be able to get a deal done for 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\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-brentford-premier-league.jpg.webp 1800w\" 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\">Wolves&#8217; Jorgen Strand Larsen (Photo by Naomi Baker\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the meantime, they will need to convince his club as well.
