Third time lucky for Newcastle? Magpies set to launch another bid for Wolves star Jorgen Strand Larsen after seeing £55m offer knocked back

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle remain keen on signing Larsen this summer, as they look for a replacement for wantaway forward Alexander Isak, who has made up his mind to join Premier League champions LIverpool. Accordingly, the Magpies have increased their bid value by £5m and remain hopeful that they will be able to sign the striker forward before the transfer window closes.

Newcastle have been in the transfer market in search of a new forward since Callum Wilson's departure from the club this summer. Isak's future also remains uncertain after the Swedish star's public outburst against the Magpies. 

It has been a tough transfer window for Newcastle, who have missed out on multiple strikers despite showing strong interest. Negotiations with Brentford over the transfer of Yoane Wissa have been complicated all through the summer, while they missed out on signing Benjamin Sesko, who opted to move to Old Trafford.

After the heartbreaking loss against champions Liverpool, Frank's men will be back in action on Saturday, as they host Leeds United in the Premier League.
