"We need every single player at their best and JP [Mateta] isn't at his best right now with all the noise that happens. "I see the club working hard to get players in to replace Marc and, of course, we have to prepare if something happens with JP [Mateta]." Glasner said the club is preparing for different scenarios and Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen remains a target. Palace were ready to offer £50m for Norway striker Strand Larsen, but that deal is now in the balance after the Eagles communicated their intention to walk away. Wolves boss Rob Edwards confirmed on Friday that 25-year-old Larsen is ready to play against Bournemouth on Saturday.
