Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle worth in the region of £50m to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. Palace broke their club record with a £35m move for Wales striker Brennan Johnson earlier this month but Strand Larsen's arrival would surpass that deal. Leeds have already seen an offer of £40m rejected by Wolves, and as things stand the Elland Road club are reluctant to go much higher. Palace's pursuit of Strand Larsen raises further uncertainty over Jean-Philippe Mateta's future at Selhurst Park heading into the final days of the window. Mateta wants to leave Palace and has informed the club's hierarchy of his wishes.
