Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has reportedly informed the club that he wants to join Newcastle, which might open the door for Alexander Isak to complete his much-anticipated move to Liverpool.

Wolves have confirmed head coach Vitor Pereira has signed a new three-year contract despite his side being rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
