Rob Edwards confirmed Jorgen Strand Larsen will be in Wolves’ squad for Saturday’s visit of Bournemouth despite the forward being linked with a move away.
Strand Larsen has been attracting interest in this transfer window from Crystal Palace although it is reportedly subsiding and Edwards sees no reason not to include the Norwegian against the Cherries.
“It’s pretty clear, he’s trained and he will be part of the squad tomorrow,” Edwards said. “He’s trained really well today, so that’s as much as I can say on it.”
Pressed on whether Palace had backed away from any deal, Edwards replied: “That’s something for them, obviously I’m working for Wolves, so I don’t know
Edwards, whose side have had a mini-resurgence with nine points in their last six matches, remains hopeful of incomings to boost rock-bottom Wolves’ slim prospects of Premier League survival.
“We want to try and bring in the right people,” he said. “I want us to be good with the work that we do. I want it to mean something. I want people to come and be able to make a difference.
“We want to be able to improve this squad going forward, for the now and for the future as well, whatever that may hold, which does provide a challenge for us.”
