Wolves’ new striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has made a promising start since joining the club on loan from Celta Vigo, with the option for Wolves to sign him permanently for £22.5 million after a certain number of appearances. Despite only scoring once in a 6-2 defeat to Chelsea, Larsen’s work rate and role as a focal point for the attack have been appreciated by Wolves fans and management alike.
Club legend Steve Bull has offered the Norwegian some advice to help him thrive at Molineux. Bull, who is Wolves’ all-time top scorer, stressed the importance of being a consistent goal threat and staying focused in front of goal. His guidance is aimed at helping Strand Larsen develop into a reliable number nine for the team, especially considering Wolves have struggled to fill the position since Raul Jimenez’s injury issues.
While Strand Larsen has yet to fully hit his stride, his potential to become a fan favorite is evident through his hard work and ability to hold the ball up, suggesting a bright future ahead at the club if he can build on these early performances.
Steve Bull shares the advice he gave to Jorgen Strand Larsen after Wolves transfer
Wolves fans have very high hopes for Strand Larsen.
Steve Bull’s advice to Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen reflects the changing nature of the modern game, particularly the role of a number nine in a team that prioritizes patient build-up play. During a pre-season trip to Miami, Bull shared his thoughts with Strand Larsen, emphasizing the need for patience in a team like Wolves, where 20 passes might happen before the ball even reaches the box. Bull noted how frustrating that would have been in his era but acknowledged that Wolves’ style now is “fluent” and tactically advanced.
Bull’s comments seem relevant, as Strand Larsen has sometimes struggled to find consistent service in Gary O’Neil’s team. The Norwegian has shown moments of quality by dropping deep and running the channels, but he has also experienced quieter periods during games, which journalist Liam Keen recently highlighted by noting that Larsen has been “slightly isolated” and even a “passenger” at times.
Wolves’ emphasis on build-up and tactical battles in the modern game contrasts with Bull’s more direct style from his time, but his advice to Strand Larsen to be patient could help the striker adapt to the team’s playing style and succeed at Molineux.
