Steve Bull’s Brilliant Advice Transforms Wolves Star Jorgen Strand Larsen into Goal Machine
Jorgen Strand Larsen has proven to be a standout addition to Wolves since arriving from Celta Vigo last summer. The Norwegian striker, brought in to wear the club’s iconic number nine shirt, faced a tough initiation in English football. With Wolves enduring a brutal first half of the season and struggling to pick up wins, Strand Larsen’s early goals often came in losing efforts.
That changed in March when he netted twice in a crucial win over Southampton — a performance that marked the beginning of a red-hot streak. Remarkably, Strand Larsen went on to score in the following three games, igniting a purple patch that helped to turn the club’s season around.
Behind this impressive form may be a timely piece of wisdom from none other than club legend Steve Bull. As part of his 60th birthday celebrations, Bull visited Compton Park and shared a personal chat with Strand Larsen, at the request of head coach Vítor.
In an interview with *Zero Zero*, Bull revealed what he told the striker: “Strand, hear me. You have to be more selfish. Everyone’s looking for the perfect goal, but that doesn’t exist. There are just goals — and you’re the man to deliver them.”
The message clearly resonated. Following Bull’s advice, Strand Larsen has found the net six times in his last seven appearances — a run that earned him Wolves’ Player of the Month award and cemented his place as a key figure in the squad, particularly during a period when fellow forward Matheus Cunha was sidelined.
While the early part of his campaign may have been frustrating, Strand Larsen has since demonstrated that he can lead the line with authority, resilience, and a sharper instinct for goal — exactly what Steve Bull urged him to embrace. Wolves are set to make his move permanent for around £23 million this summer, and based on recent performances, it already looks like money well spent.
Looking ahead to the 2025/26 season, the Wolves faithful will be hoping that Larsen’s selfish streak continues — because when he scores, the team wins.
