Strand Larsen starred in one of the biggest moves on the last day of the transfer window, with Crystal Palace paying a record €45 million to sign him from Wolves.

The Norwegian striker, who has become the most expensive signing in the Eagles' history, decided to post a touching message on social media saying goodbye to the Wanderers.

"Dear Wolves, I just wanna say thank you to everyone in and around the club. You’ve all made my time at the club very special. I’m so happy to have met and worked with so many great people. And I will be forever grateful for all of the fans believing in me and wanting the best for me and the team. The last 6 months has obviously been very tough. As a team and on a personal note. Looking back at the injury I got first game of the season I should definitely have taken my time off to heal it and it has played a bigger role than it should," he wrote.

"I’m sad leaving Wolves and will forever support the team and it will always have a special place in my heart. I will bring the nice moments with me and look back at last years record breaking season with a big smile. It couldn’t have been done all alone. A special thank you to all the players and staff and I wish you all the best for the remainder of the season," he concluded.

In addition, the striker, who has only scored one goal in the Premier League this season, gave his first words wearing the Crystal Palace colours. "I'm really excited to come to Crystal Palace. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time now. I'm here to bring energy and goals, and to try to do my best for the club."
