Crystal Palace have reportedly agreed to a £48 million deal to sign striker Jørgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The agreement comes after Crystal Palace reignited their interest in the Norwegian international. The deal is structured as an initial £43 million with £5 million in add-ons.

Strand Larsen, 25, only joined Wolves permanently last summer from Celta Vigo for £23 million and has scored one Premier League goal this season. He was a substitute in Wolves' recent 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Crystal Palace had verbally agreed in principle to sign Strand Larsen for £45 million plus £5 million in add-ons last week, before finalizing the deal. The player is expected to undergo a medical.

This acquisition may pave the way for Jean-Philippe Mateta's potential £30 million move to Milan, with whom Palace are reportedly in talks. Mateta has expressed his desire to leave the club. Wolves, meanwhile, are reportedly targeting Southampton striker Adam Armstrong and Marseille midfielder Angel Gomes as potential replacements.

In other news, Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida. Geertruida is currently on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig. Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Geertruida, and the player is keen on the move, being familiar with Liverpool boss Arne Slot from their time together at Feyenoord. Geertruida's versatility, as he can play right-back, center-back, and holding midfield, is particularly attractive to Liverpool.

However, Sunderland would need to agree to terminate Geertruida's loan, and Liverpool would need to offer a compensation package, estimated to be around £3-£4 million, to secure the deal. Slot has indicated that Liverpool are looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. Geertruida has made 17 Premier League appearances for Sunderland this season.
