Crystal Palace have signed striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves in a club-record deal worth up to £48m. The 25-year-old Norway international has agreed a four-and-a-half year contract at Selhurst Park, where he will wear the number 22 shirt. Larsen's move comes after Eagles forward Jean-Philippe Mateta looked set for a transfer to AC Milan, but the Italian club have pulled out of a £30m deal.
Larsen, who has only scored one Premier League goal in 22 outings for Wolves, will be hoping to replicate his form from last season when he netted 14 times in 35 outings for the Midlands club. The Norway forward is excited to join Palace and says he's looking to bring energy and goals to the team.
The deal is a significant boost for Palace, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Larsen's arrival adds depth to the Eagles' attack and could help them compete with the top teams in the Premier League.
Palace chairman Steve Parish said the club are "delighted" that Larsen has chosen to join them and is confident he will prove himself a valuable asset for years to come. The deal marks a significant signing for Palace, who have been looking to invest in their squad after a disappointing season last year.

he's gonna bring that energy and goals to the team for sure! I mean, 14 goals in 35 outings is insane 
for Wolves last season, and I'm hyped to see what he can do at Selhurst Park. The deal is defo a game-changer for Palace, they need all the help they can get after that disappointing season last year 
. Larsen's gonna fit right in with the squad, and I'm loving the fact that he's only 25, so he's got plenty of years to prove himself. Palace fans are gonna be buzzing about this signing, for sure! 
I think Palace just made a great move by signing Larsen! He's got some serious potential and that number 22 shirt is gonna look sweet on him 
. The fact that he scored 14 goals last season is pretty impressive, especially considering he only played in the Midlands league 
. Wolves must have really wanted to get rid of him, but Palace has taken a risk that could pay off big time 
. I'm excited to see how Larsen adapts to Selhurst Park and what kind of impact he'll make on the team 
I mean, they're already paying big bucks for Larsen, that's a lot of money. What if this is all part of some clever recruitment strategy by the new management team? 
maybe they've got some hidden plans to shake up the Premier League landscape.
either way, it's got me thinking - are Palace playing the long game here or trying to make some noise before the season starts? 
. I'd be more concerned about how this deal affects the rest of the squad and whether it's sustainable in the long run...
he's got some decent form from wolves and i love the energy he brings to the table 
️ also, 48m is a pretty penny so credit to palace for splashing out like that 
. And let's be honest, £48m is a lot of money, so if he can deliver on the pitch, that's just great value 
. What does it say about the state of our league, though? That we need a striker to score 14 goals in one season to be considered "good" 
I guess only time will tell... but one thing's for sure: it's gonna be an interesting season ahead 
.
A club-record deal of £48m is totally worth it if he can bring that energy and goal-scoring form we saw last season 
They've got a good young striker comin' in, and he's already proven himself at the top level with 14 goals last season. The fact that they're willin' to splurge £48m on him shows how serious they are about challengin' for the title. Palace have been rebuildin' their squad and this is a huge step forward. I'm curious to see how Larsen fits in with Mateta and the rest of the team, but it's definitely a positive sign for the future! 
I'm curious to see how he'll fit into the team, but with Mateta potentially joining AC Milan, it's like Palace just snagged a double deal 
. He's got some serious potential and has already shown it with 14 goals last season 
. The fact that AC Milan pulled out of the deal is like, a perfect storm for Palace 
. They must've been really eager to get their hands on him! I'm excited to see what he brings to the team and how he'll fit in with Jean-Philippe Mateta's style 
. It's clear that this signing was a calculated risk and it's definitely paying off 
the deal is up to £48m which is insane! i mean, they didnt get anyone with the same calibre as Jean-Philippe Mateta who was like set 2 leave but AC Milan pulled out of the deal so yaaas! 
48m is a lot of dough, Palace must be ready to shake things up now! Parish is on point with this signing, no doubt Larsen is gonna make him proud 
what do you guys think about this move?
