West Ham<\/a>‘s interest in Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has cooled after discovering Wolves<\/a> want \u00a340m for the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n

The Hammers are committed to bolstering Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad with striking reinforcements.<\/p>\n

Larsen was at the top of their list of potential signings and Wolves<\/a> boss Rob Edwards did not close the door on the Norway forward leaving Molineux next month following the 1-1 draw at Manchester United.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, West Ham<\/a> think the price Wolves<\/a> are wanting for Strand Larsen, who only signed a new contract to 2030 in September, is too high. They are looking at alternatives, although it cannot be ruled out that their interest might be revived.<\/p>\n

Newcastle<\/a> had bids of \u00a350m and \u00a355m turned down in the summer, although since then Wolves<\/a> have embarked on a calamitous season that looks certain to end in relegation back to the Championship.<\/p>\n

“We will make the right call on every individual,” said Edwards.<\/p>\n

“Only time will tell. It will be a club decision and I am sure there will be movement in and out because we want to make an impact in the month.”<\/p>\n

West Ham<\/a>, who drew 2-2 with Brighton<\/a> at the London Stadium to close the gap on fourth-from-bottom Nottingham Forest<\/a> to four points, are now looking elsewhere, with Crystal Palace<\/a> front-man Eddie Nketiah believed to be of interest.<\/p>\n

Nketiah has scored four goals in 19 appearances for Palace so far this season.<\/p>\n

However, the 26-year-old former Arsenal<\/a> player has only started twice in the Premier League, most recently in the 4-1 defeat at Leeds<\/a> on 20 December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham‘s interest in Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has cooled after discovering Wolves want \u00a340m for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-219944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
