the Celta Vigo giant is the surprise name for the attack. He costs 20 million and comes from a season with 13 goals in 39 games. Bologna and Napoli also like him
He is friends with Haaland but is more like Vlahovic, he loves Rome and was one of Sartori’s obsessions. Indeed it still is. From tonight though Jorgen Strand Larsen he is closer to Roma than to Bologna. The Norwegian striker of Celta Vigo, as reported today by Corriere dello Sport, quickly jumped to pole position in Ghisolfi’s transfer choices to fill an offensive department already orphaned by Lukaku, Azmoun and Belotti. De Rossi wants at least one other striker, besides Abraham, for the summer training camp which will begin on 8th July in Trigoria. The vice clause Haaland in the national team it says 50 million. But in Galicia they are willing to listen to offers worth around twenty million, perhaps with some bonuses. They know it Naples and Bologna who have approached the Norwegian giant in recent weeks.
The beginnings in Milan, then the explosion in Holland
—
Larsen was born in Halden, in southern Norway on the border with Sweden, on 6 February 2000. And he knows Italy through having lived for a year in Milan as a member of the AC Milan Primavera (coached at the time by Gattuso). He also had a troubled year due to language problems (only 3 goals) before returning to Norway. First team debut with Sarpsborg 08 it was incredible: on 26 April 2017 he scored a hat-trick in the match valid for the first round of the Norwegian Cup played on the field of Drøbak/Frogn. Then she started to amaze in Holland with Groningen: 27 goals in 71 games. Enough to attract the attention of La Liga and Celta Vigo where Larsen has exploded in the last year with 13 goals in 39 appearances. Here he met Carles Pereza former Roma player who recommended him to join the Giallorossi.
Technical characteristics and love for the capital
—
Standing at 1.93 meters tall (and consequently good in the air and on the banks), Larsen is the classic modern Nordic centre-forward: physically strong, but also with a delicate (right) foot and loves to score with his back heel (two this year). He is in love with Italy and above all with the capital, as he wrote on social media a year ago when he had the opportunity to meet Pope francesco. For the rest it’s all about football and family (she has 4 brothers). On social media he almost only posts football images and at the moment he doesn’t have a partner. Roma will try to close the deal shortly even if there is no definitive negotiation yet. It remains to be seen whether Larsen will take the place of the outgoing Abraham, and therefore will be a valid resource on the bench. Or something more.
