Wolves hold firm amid Strand Larsen talks
Leeds United are continuing talks with Wolves over their striker Jorgen Strand Larsen after having a first bid worth £39million rejected.
Wolves are willing to sell Strand Larsen, who cost them £23m from Celta Vigo, but have been standing by their £40m valuation and Leeds’ bid was £33m with a further £6m in add-ons.
Leeds also want to add a left wing-back and have asked about Strasbourg’s Ben Chilwell among others.
Wolves defender Emmanuel Agbadou is trying to push through his move to Besiktas. The two clubs are around £2m apart with the Turkish side’s last offer at £13m.
Eagles dismiss Mateta approach
AC Milan have made an approach for Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta which has been dismissed. The 28-year-old is keen on a move to Milan but coach Oliver Glasner insists the striker has stopped short of putting in a transfer request.
Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong has emerged as a potential target for Palace who are considering options to fill the gap left by former captain Marc Guehi’s move to Manchester City.
West Ham have rejected Flamengo’s latest offer for Lucas Paqueta.
