Everton have been watching Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen

Everton are watching Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen ahead of the winter transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

Strand Larsen, who was the subject of a failed £55 million bid from Newcastle United in August, bagged 14 goals and four assists in 35 Premier League games last term.

However, Strand Larsen has scored just three goals in 18 games across all competitions this term for the struggling Midlands club.

Whether that will be enough to convince the Toffees is unclear, but he is on their radar.

Everton are pushing for a place in Europe but back-to-back Premier League losses have left them in 10th place in the table.

Nevertheless, they remain in contention for the continental spots as only five points are between them and fourth-place Chelsea after 17 games.

They need to strengthen in attack to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season, and signing Strand Larsen could come in handy.

He is likely to be open to leaving Wolves next month and joining a club challenging for Europe.

While signing him will be a gamble given his current form, the Norway international has proven himself in recent seasons, impressing in the Eredivisie with Groningen and in La Liga with Celta Vigo.

The Everton target scored 45 goals across four seasons at those two clubs and playing under Moyes could help him return to his best.

Convincing Wolves to part with one of their best players next month could prove tricky, especially if they remain in the survival race in the coming weeks.
