Wolves are closing in on the loan signing of Celta Vigo striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

The 24-year-old will have a medical on Monday before joining for an initial loan fee of 3m euros (£2.5m).

Wolves will then have the option to buy the Norway international permanently for 27m euros (£23m) next summer.

Larsen scored 16 goals for club and country last season, including 13 in the league, as Celta finished 14th in La Liga.

He started his career at Sarpsborg in Norway before moving to Dutch club Groningen, scoring 24 goals in 67 appearances.

Celta paid a reported 11m euros (£9.3m) to take him to Spain in 2022 and he has scored 18 times in 74 games.

Wolves have already signed winger Rodrigo Gomes on a five-year deal from Braga, while teenage right-back Pedro Lima will join from Brazilian side Sport Recife on 1 July.
