Crystal Palace's bid for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has hit a snag as the Premier League club is said to have lost interest in signing the 25-year-old Norway forward. The two clubs had agreed on a £50m deal, but Crystal Palace is now reportedly no longer willing to pursue the move.
According to sources, Wolves had been informed that Palace had walked away from the agreement after failing to put pen to paper with Larsen. It remains unclear whether this was a negotiating tactic or if there are genuine doubts about the transfer.
Jorgen Strand Larsen has already enjoyed his debut for Wolves in the Premier League and has been linked with other clubs. Palace's decision could affect Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is also looking to leave Selhurst Park before Monday's transfer deadline. Nottingham Forest, Juventus, and AC Milan are among other clubs that have shown interest in signing Mateta.
Palace are now set to sign versatile attacker Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa as they seek to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. However, it remains to be seen whether Palace will continue to pursue a new centre-forward before allowing Mateta to depart.

... I mean, £50m was a pretty good offer, and he's already played for Wolves once, so it seems like they had everything sorted out 
. Now, I'm not sure what kind of doubts are going through their minds, but maybe Palace is just trying to negotiate a better deal? 
Either way, this could be a problem if Jean-Philippe Mateta leaves and they don't have anyone lined up to replace him 
. On the bright side, they're signing Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa, so that's something! 
️ Maybe they'll figure it out and make some smart signings before the transfer deadline?
i thought for sure jorgen strand larsen was gonna be theirs but now they've lost interest 
meanwhile palace are signing evann guessand on loan and jean-philipe mateta is still up in the air 
that would be awesome for the team
so I was watching Crystal Palace play last season and I loved Jorgen Strand Larsen's pace on the pitch... like he's gonna leave us hanging now? 
50 million pounds is still pretty crazy, can't say I blame them for rethinking it though. Not sure what's going through Palace's mind, but hopefully they find someone who can put up a fight with Mateta 
. Guessand on loan is a decent consolation prize, but we need that striker ASAP 
, makes me wonder if wer all just bein played 
! they were like totally on the verge of signing this amazing norwegian player jorgen strand larsen for 50m and now its all off lol i mean idk what went down but palace is outta luck now 
. maybe they werent as serious about him as we thought? 
. fingers crossed they can get another striker in before the deadline or else mateta is gonna be stuck 
hopefully Wolves will find another striker ASAP 
What's going on at Crystal Palace, did they change their minds or was it all just a big negotiating tactic? 
And what about Mateta, will he even get to play with Guessand? 
I'm kinda curious about Evann Guessand tho, how's his loan deal gonna work out for Palace? 
What's the story with Guessand though? Loaning him from Villa, huh? That's an interesting move...
Crystal Palace losing interest in Jorgen Strand Larsen? That's so disappointing 
Still hoping he'll find a good home soon 
Palace signing Evann Guessand on loan sounds like a solid move though 
They need all the help they can get at this point 
what's wrong with palace? 1 million pounds for this guy and they lose interest already... that's not exactly the impression i wanna give on my team 
and meanwhile, evann guessand is coming in on loan... not sure how that's going to fill the gap. hope palace know what they're doing with transfers 
I'm so gutted for Jorgen Strand Larsen 
! 50m is a sick amount of money and he's only 25 
. I was thinking he'd be the perfect signing for Palace 
, but now it looks like they're pulling out 
and now crystal palace is backing out 
yeah right, like that's gonna fill the void of mateta leaving 
. Wolves must be laughing at this one 
they gotta be bloody joking if they walked away from Jorgen Strand Larsen after one debut for Wolves... i mean, the lad scored 2 goals and saved their lives lol! 
anyway, guess palace decided to go with Evann Guessand on loan, not sure how that's gonna help 'em. hope Mateta gets sold tho, Palace needs a new striker ASAP or they'll be stuck in the relegation zone for years
