Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle worth in the region of £50m to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, as Nottingham Forest prepare an improved offer for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Palace broke their club record with a £35m move for Wales forward Brennan Johnson earlier this month but Strand Larsen's arrival would surpass that deal. Wolves are open to selling the Norway international this month provided they get a fee close to the £55m they rejected from Newcastle for the striker during the summer transfer window. Leeds have already seen an offer of £40m rejected by Wolves, and as things stand the Elland Road club are reluctant to go much higher. Mateta wants to leave Palace and has informed the club's hierarchy of his wishes, with Forest set to return after failing with an initial £35m offer.
