We asked for your thoughts on Jorgen Strand Larsen now he has secured a four-year deal at Wolves.

Here are some of your comments:

Craig: Seems good business. Sold one player for £62m and brought in a good replacement who has scored goals for £23m. That'll be the mindset now for Wolves - buy for less than what they sell players for in order to meet profit and sustainability rules. Surprised I don't see them signing Victor Lindelof or some other free agents.

Bob: He is a bright spark for Wolves for the future.

Ben: Strand Larsen had a decent start to his Wolves career but he really kicked into gear after Vitor Pereira arrived. Excellent news he is staying - looks a reliable goalscorer and his physical presence helps dictate the shape of the team.

Allan: Tall, strong and clinical in front of goal. If he gets the service, I'm sure he will add many more goals to his tally. Very pleased to see him become a permanent signing.

Reuben: Yeah, viva Larsen!

Dairve: I believe this will be a terrific season for Jorgen Strand Larsen - he grew and grew last year. Exciting times for Wolves and the player himself.

Wolves formally confirmed that Jorgen Strand Larsen has joined permanently from Celta Vigo for £23m, having triggered performance-related clauses during a successful season on loan at Molineux which yielded 14 Premier League goals.

His contribution was at times overshadowed by the more eye-catching displays of Matheus Cunha, who netted 15 times, including five strikes from outside the penalty area, and earned a £62.5m move to Manchester United.

But when Cunha missed four games through suspension in March and April it was Larsen who stepped up, scoring in crucial wins over Southampton, West Ham and Ipswich to effectively guarantee safety for Wolves. In fact, the Norwegian ended the campaign on a hot streak, netting seven times in his final seven starts.

Larsen is 6ft 4in tall and won 67 aerial duels in 2024-25, the sixth highest total by a forward, though he only scored three headers. But where he particularly excelled was in making the most of his chances.

His shot-conversion figure - the percentage of efforts resulting in a goal – was 25.9%, which was the second highest recorded by any player with at least 20 attempts last term, bettered only by Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood.

Larsen also directed 69.4% of his shots on target, the leading percentage among forwards who start regularly, and overperformed his expected goals total by 3.74.

It remains to be seen whether he can reproduce that clinical form in 2025-26, with the absence of Cunha perhaps meaning opposition defences will afford him less space.

But in a market where centre-forwards come at a premium, the 25-year-old has already proven a shrewd signing for Wolves.

Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen's initial season-long loan from Celta Vigo has been made permanent after certain clauses in his contract were met to automatically trigger the £23m deal.

The Norway international scored 14 Premier League goals last season and now has a four-year contract to keep him at Molineux until 2029.

Larsen scored eight goals after Vitor Pereira's arrival in December, and his overall total was the most by a Wolves player in their debut Premier League campaign.

"It's been a good first season in the Premier League," the 25-year-old said.

"I'm proud of what I've done. I've been able to take the steps earlier than I've done before. Previously when I moved to a new country, I've needed more time to get into it and score goals.

"As a striker, the team need you to score the goals and be on the end of the crosses, so to score 14 goals – and come back after my injuries and a little dip of form – it was a good season for me in that respect."

Are you happy with four more years of Larsen?

Wolves winger Rodrigo Gomes says adapting the Premier League was more "difficult" than he expected and that made his debut more campaign more challenging.

The 21-year-old, who signed from Braga in June 2024, made 28 appearances in all competitions for Wolves last season.

"It was a tough and difficult season," said Gomes on the Wolves website, external. "But I think it was very good for me to improve myself.

"It was my first season away from Portugal and it was very nice. I did a very good pre-season, and although the team in the first games was not that good, from the middle of the season until the end, we improved a lot.

"We improved individually and as a team and I think that helped me to get better and improve myself and my game. In the end, I think it was a very good season for me and for the club too.

"I was thinking I was ready, but the Premier League was different than the pre-season. I knew it would be, but the Premier League was very intense, very physical, very fast, and although the pre-season was like that too, it was not as much as the Premier League was.

"It was different, it was tough, it was more difficult, and in the first games, I was not that ready.

"But I think it's normal when you come to the Premier League, especially as a young player and you are not a regular in the first games.

"You need to time to settle and you need time to know how to play in the team. I've said many times before, the Premier League is the best league in the world and it's the most difficult league in the world to play in, so I think now I'm better, but I still need to improve more and more."

Wolves have launched their home kit for the upcoming 2025-26 season.

The club have called the shirt a fusion of heritage and performance that nods to 'iconic Wolves kits of the past'.

Inspired by Molineux Pleasure Grounds, the strip is 'a modern day take on a classic Wolves shirt', but what do you make of it?

There has been a fair amount of talk on social media about Wolves' transfer window, with some fans already feeling anxious about a lack of action.

It is early days though, and I think there are some positives as well as plenty of time left for the club to make the right moves.

Recent departures of key players are a worry. Replacing talent and leadership will not be easy, and it is vital the club gets these decisions right. While I would prefer most signings to be completed in time for Vitor Pereira to work with them in pre-season, it is more important to focus on making the right additions rather than rushing into risky transfers.

Some in-house changes have caught my attention too. With the arrival of technical director Domenico Teti, perhaps Pereira will take on more responsibility for transfers, working more like a traditional manager than the modern head coach.

The involvement of Jorge Mendes' agency Gestifute and Valdir Cardoso could also be key. This all suggests the club is setting up for a significant summer in the transfer market.

So far, Fer Lopez is the only signing. He seems a great prospect with impressive stats, though he lacks top-level experience. The good news is he will get a full pre-season with Pereira and chance to settle in.

Wing-backs stand out as a need. Hugo Bueno impressed on loan at Feyenoord and will probably claim a starting spot, but Wolves need more depth and strong competition on both flanks. Nelson Semedo's contract situation adds another question mark, and a replacement for him may be required.

Up front, more changes seem likely. Both Goncalo Guedes and Hwang Hee-chan could move on, opening doors for fresh attacking options. Pereira wants players with pace and the ability to win one on ones, so new arrivals should fit this description.

With the club's financial year restarting on Tuesday, 1 July, I expect transfer activity to ramp up. There is a lot of work ahead, but I am hopeful we will soon see some thoughtful, well-planned signings.

Wolves' signing of highly rated Spaniard Fer Lopez is a move that signals the club's intent to invest in Europe's next generation of creative talent.

Born in Madrid in May 2004, Lopez joined Celta Vigo's academy at the age of 10 and progressed steadily through the ranks. His development included a brief stint in England in 2018 with grassroots side Bacton United and Finborough School in Suffolk - a taste of English football that has now come full circle.

He earned his first-team debut in the Copa del Rey in October 2024, marking the occasion by scoring twice. His La Liga debut came shortly after, in December, although an ankle injury in that match briefly stalled his momentum.

Lopez is a left-footed attacking midfielder, often deployed as a number 10. He thrives in pockets of space between the lines, using sharp dribbling and intelligent movement to unlock defences. His ability to dictate play in the final third has drawn comparisons to Celta icon Iago Aspas, and even stylistic nods to Riyad Mahrez due to his close control and flair.

Lopez arrives in the Premier League as a relatively unknown quantity, but Wolves fans may not have to wait long to see his impact. With his blend of creativity, composure, and tactical awareness, he could quickly become a fan favourite - and one of the standout young talents in the league.

Wolves' new signing Fer Lopez has described his excitement at making the move to Molineux after completing his £19m transfer on Friday.

The 21-year-old forward, who has joined on a five-year contract, also said he had spoken to Jorgen Strand Larsen - a team-mate at Celta Vigo.

"It's an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League, and I'm very happy," said Lopez.

"Vitor told me he thought I was a good fit in the squad and when it's a club like this, you have little to think about. The team did very well when Vitor came and I think he is top, so I'm very excited to be with him.

"Jorgen told me that to play in the Premier League and with a team like Wolves is amazing, and that the fans were incredible. He told me that I should come, and that with the gaffer and all the team-mates, the style of play was going to be very good.

"We're going to play good football - attractive football - and I think I can fit in there.

"To finish seventh in La Liga was amazing, and in my breakthrough year, I cannot explain with words, because it was everything I had dreamed of. I played at the Bernabeu twice, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid - they were the best atmospheres in Spain. Now I want to do the same, but in England."

Following the release of the 2025-26 Premier League fixtures, we asked you to have your say on how the schedule has fallen and where Wolves might be after 10 games.

Here are some of your comments:

Peter: At last! A home game to start the season - but a tough one. After two years of having statistically the hardest start these seem a much fairer and more balanced set of fixtures, including playing all the promoted teams. I am hopeful we can have a solid start and be mid-table after 10 games.

Jack: Three promoted sides, three 'bigger' teams, four against roughly equal opposition - should be a pretty accurate test of how good this squad actually is. Plus, it's already better than the 10-game onslaught that opened last season!

Dairve: I am going with eight points from our first 10 games - L/D/D/L/W/L/L/L/W/L.

Mike: Bottom unless Fosun looks to spend some decent money.

William: Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I hate this run of fixtures. Huge pressure to win the home games against Everton and Leeds as without those six points it could be a horrid start.

Chris: I can't believe there isn't some sort of plot against us. Every season since we were promoted we have struggled in the first 10 games because of the slow start after being paired with most of the so-called top six. And yet again proven correct - Manchester City to start.

Opta has ranked the difficulty of each top-flight team's first five Premier League fixtures of the 2025-26 season.

According to Opta's model, Manchester United have the hardest start, followed by their opening-weekend opponents Arsenal and then Bournemouth.

Aston Villa's first five games have been ranked the easiest, alongside Crystal Palace.

Take a look below to see where your side places...

Aside from the opening weekend's game against Manchester City and the final fixture of the season against Burnley, all dates are subject to change as a result of broadcast and other requirements.

After securing two victories over Manchester United last season, Wolves will aim to repeat the feat when they host Ruben Amorim's side - now featuring Matheus Cunha - on weekend of 6-7 December.

The return meeting will be three weeks later.

The first West Midlands derby of the campaign will be at Villa Park on weekend of 29-30 November, with Vitor Pereira's side then hosting Aston Villa at the end of February.

Pereira and his squad will also have eyes on Boxing Day and 4 March - the two dates they are due to face defending champions Liverpool.

And what about the schedule for the New Year? Well, Wolves will host West Ham in their first game of 2026 as part of a festive programme that kicks off at home to Brentford on the weekend before Christmas.

Finally, Wanderers will close their campaign against Burnley on Sunday, 24 May 2026 - when all 10 matches will kick off at 16:00 BST.

With the transfer window now open again until 1 September, we asked you to tell us one player you want Wolves to sign, and a player you want to be sold this summer.

Here are some of your comments:

Jordan: If I could sell one player it would be Sam Johnstone and if I could buy a player it would be James McAtee because he is a sensational player and he would be a good fit at Wolves.

Matt: I would sell Johnstone, Guedes, Silva and Doyle as he doesn't fit our system. I would sign Harvey Elliott and pursue a loan for Spurs' Mikey Moore. We need creative wide players!

Edward: I would sell Guedes. He doesn't get enough game time and needs to move on. I'd sign Gonçalo Ramos as he fits the Portuguese theme for Wolves and we need someone to test Strand-Larsen in the striker position.

No sooner does the season finish and we start looking forward to key dates for the next campaign - and that will be a lot easier to do on Wednesday when the Premier League fixtures are released.

That's right, that special day in the calendar is almost here already. The day when you'll learn details of derby fixtures, Christmas opponents and end-of-season run-ins.

This page will bring you all the fixtures when they drop at 09:00 BST on Wednesday and we'll be giving you the chance to have your say on how things look.

The new campaign kicks off on the weekend of Saturday, 16 August and it will conclude on Sunday, 24 May 2026, when all 10 games will take place at the same time.

Wolves have revealed the details of a restructure of their behind-the-scenes footballing team.

Domenico Teti has beenb appointed as director of professional football at Molineux. Teti has previously held roles at Sampdoria and Al-Shabab, where he worked with Wolves boss Vitor Pereira.

Matt Jackson, who joined the club in 2021, has a new role as director of player recruitment and development, and a club statement said he will work closely with Teti and other senior executives from the football department.

The football leadership team also includes newly appointed director of performance Phil Hayward, director of football operations and administration Matt Wild and PR and communications director Max Fitzgerald.

Teti said: "I am truly excited to join the Wolverhampton Wanderers family and to feel the passion of its fans, who embody the soul and spirit of this historic club," said Teti.

"It is an honour to be part of something so special."

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi said Teti's "international background and experience at senior levels will bring fresh insight to the club", adding: "This leadership group provides clear expertise across all operational areas, ensuring alignment and strong collaboration throughout the football department."

The transfer window is open again for summer business to be conducted.

Clubs can now strike deals until the deadline at 19:00 BST on 1 September.

So if you can sell one player, who is it? And if you can buy one player only, who gets the nod?

Give us reasons for your choice but remember, in this instance it's a strict one player leaving and one coming in.

We asked for your thoughts on who Wolves should sign to replace the output of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri as they both head to Manchester.

Here are some of your comments:

Robert: Evann Guessand, Renan and James McAtee. Also maybe a replacement for Semedo at wing back, plus at least one number 10 on loan. Also buy new goalkeeper and sell Johnstone.

Richard: Wolves should be looking at Harvey Elliott, Paul Nebel and James McAtee in my opinion.

Spencer: With Hugo Bueno coming back it looks as if there won't be a new replacement for Ait-Nouri perhaps. So who will replace Cunha? From past experience I know that it will probably be a player who is on the books with a certain Portuguese agent. Could be good, could be very average. Personally speaking, maybe someone like Jonathan David (Lille) might be a good fit.

Anthony: Jack Grealish would be very welcome addition.

Paul: It will be players who we don't know from the French leagues - along the lines of Agbadou and Munetsi, who have been excellent.

Dairve: Wolves' owners will scour the leagues of Europe looking for raw teenage talent which they can sell on in a couple of years for a huge profit. The kind of philosophy that will get us relegated eventually.
