Larsen for £60m would be a 'panic buy'

A £60m deal for Jorgen Strand Larsen would represent a "panic buy". The Magpies have already made two bids for the striker, with the second at £55m. Last season Larsen also scored 14 goals in 30 Premier League starts on loan at Wolves from Celta Vigo, which convinced the Premier League club to sign him on a permanent basis.

A £60m deal for Jorgen Strand Larsen would represent a "panic buy".

That's the view of Newcastle United fan Anas as the topic was debated on the latest episode of BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport.

The Magpies have already made two bids for the striker, with the second at £55m.

"I appreciate that he is only 25-years-old and he scored twice against West Ham but I wouldn't pay that money. It's a panic buy. It really is," said Newcastle fan Anas.

Last season Larsen also scored 14 goals in 30 Premier League starts on loan at Wolves from Celta Vigo, which convinced the Premier League club to sign him on a permanent basis.
