Kieron Bowie: Wolves Eye Strand Larsen Replacement From Hibs

Wolves are lining up a move for Hibernian striker Kieron Bowie as a long-term replacement for Jorgen Strand Larsen.

With the Midlands club rooted to the foot of the Premier League table, survival looks impossible.

Wolves have just two points from 18 games, are are all but mathematically set for Premier League relegation already.

Still searching for their first league win of the season, the situation couldn’t be much more dire.

It’s therefore no surprise to see the top players in Rob Edwards’ side linked with leaving the club.

Wolves are on track to be the worst Premier League team ever, breaking Derby’s unwanted record for the lowest points tally.

With Championship football all but guaranteed for next season, future planning is well underway.

Star striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is expected to leave, with Hibs forward Bowie lined up as his replacement.

Wolves Line Up Kieron Bowie To Replace Strand Larsen

According to reports, Wolves are plotting a January move for Bowie.

The 23-year-old Scotland youth international has scored seven times in 19 Scottish Premiership games this season.

Available for an estimated £5 million, he represents a low-cost option for Wolves.

The club know they are heading for relegation, and cannot afford to spend big in January.

Given they are already beyond hope of survival, it makes sense to acquire players who will help them in the Championship.

With 10 goals and assists this season, Bowie is a young forward with lots of potential.

And at a bargain price, he would be a smart addition as Wolves look to rebuild.

Wolves Preparing To Cash In On Jorgen Strand Larsen

With their fate looking sealed already, Wolves will struggle to keep their top players next season.

Relegated teams often part with most of their biggest stars, with mass departures expected.

Wolves will be keen to avoid a hasty summer fire-sale, and must aim to maximise profit.

Teams lose vast amounts of revenue if they are relegated, so must sell off their most valuable players to balance the books.

Strand Larsen recently signed a new long-term contract, meaning he should command a significant fee.

Despite struggling this season, Norwegian international Strand Larsen managed 14 Premier League goals last season.

He is clearly capable of scoring regularly at the highest level, provided he is in a team capable of offering him good service.

Larsen will therefore expect to earn a move to a top team.

Wolves would be foolish to stand in his way, given they already have no hope of survival.

It therefore makes sense that they would try to offload him in January, maximising any transfer fee before his value drops further.
