Wolverhampton Wanderers have beaten West Ham to a fantastic striker acquisition, which can only be a positive thing.
When Julen Lopetegui left Wolves on the eve of last season, it was due to broken promises regarding transfers and ambition. Almost a year ago, Lopetegui took over at West Ham to supervise a significant team overhaul.
West Ham will not want to leave the Spaniard disappointed about transfers.
Especially if the 57-year-old’s previous club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, is creating the frustration.
Several players have recently been linked with transfers to West Ham and Wolves.
The Hammers and Wolverhampton Wanderers have also been connected with several mutual transfer targets.
Hammers and Wolves are busy early. 
That may not be surprising, since Lopetegui will have indicated a number of players he wanted to the Wolves board before walking out last August. One such shared aim is Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Lopetegui and West Ham technical director Tim Steidten are said to be following the very talented teenage 6ft 4in forward closely.
Journalist Victor Lopez recently reported that West Ham had made an offer to sign Celta Vigo striker Strand Larsen.
However, Wolves have also been connected with the 24-year-old. Wolves beat West Ham to sensational striker Strand Larsen Last season the Norway international scored 13 goals and laid on three assists in 37 games for Celta Vigo – who play West Ham at the London Stadium in pre-season. There’s been a major development overnight, though. Because Wolves have beaten West Ham to the sensational striker but it can only be good news. According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Wolves have verbally agreed on a €30m (£25m) package with Celta Vigo for Strand Larsen. Romano says talks continue over personal terms but a deal is close to being sealed, meaning West Ham will miss out.
