They remain firm that Jorgen Strand Larsen is not for sale, rejecting Newcastle’s latest £60m bid after earlier offers of £50m and £55m. The Norway striker underlined his value with two goals in Tuesday’s comeback win against West Ham.

00:00Wolves have confirmed the signing of Girona defender Ladislav Kurecci in a move expected

00:07to cost around £26 million. A 26-year-old, who can also operate in midfield, arrives on an

00:14initial season-long loan for €7 million, with an obligation to buy for a further £23 million next
