Wolves striker enjoying fledgling partnership

Now that the Brazilian is back and firing, their partnership up top has already proved fruitful in the opening games of the season and Larsen has praised Cunha's intelligence on the field.

Larsen said: "He's the type of player who always wants to play you in, so he's brilliant. The midfielders we have also win a lot of balls.

"In a normal type of game I think Cunha would be even more on the ball, and would be even more threatening in behind.

"So, I think that we can create a really good relationship and I'm looking forward to coming back."

When asked if Cunha's style makes it easier for him, Larsen added: "Yes, he understands. If I go in the opposite movement, he understands how a striker moves.

"I am really pleased to play with him and for sure, as you saw in the Chelsea game, we had a lot of connections already.

"So we're going to continue on that and hopefully we can come back to that on the next game.

"It was an amazing feeling (to score my first goal). It's always important to get it done, and now it's in the past, and I'm always thinking the next one.

"I was really pleased with that goal and now, coming back from the national team break, I want to score more."

The 6ft 4ins striker has offered Wolves more of a focal point up front, as he battles with tough Premier League defenders.

And the Norwegian admits it is very different to his time in Spanish football.

He added: "I think in Spain it is a bit different. You get easier fouls and stuff like that, so it's just about getting to know the league, getting to know the players.

"I'm a big guy, I like to fight a lot, but sometimes it's in the back of my mind, maybe I should have a foul and here it's not going to be given.

"So, I just have to man up and continue. I think it's a good lesson for me and also for the team that this is tough, and every game is going to be tough.

"As soon as we get back on the winning track it's going to be easier."

Larsen also speaks perfect English, which has helped him adapt to his new surroundings.

He said: "The football culture here is what I want as a football player.

"I want this intensity and outside of the pitch it's easy for me.

"I speak English, I speak Spanish fluently, so I have that connection with all of the team-mates, so I think that's important,

"I know that I can bring intensity outside of the pitch, on the pitch, so I think that it's going to be important this year,

"Sometimes it's going to go up and down, and you're just going to understand that this league is tough and it's going to take a little bit of time.

"But I'm feeling really ready to show myself. They have given me three starts already, with almost 90 minutes in every game, so I think I'm going to enjoy it here."
