Leeds United striker Chris Wood is linked with a move to Burnley. He opted not to play against Sunderland.

Leeds United maintained their unbeaten run in the 2017/18 EFL Championship campaign with a fantastic 2-0 win against Sunderland.

Before the match, Leeds United striker Chris Wood took to social networking site Twitter to explain why he won’t play the match against the Black Cats.

Wood, who was the Championship top scorer last season, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League club Burnley.

The New Zealand international has released a statement on his official Twitter page, revealing that discussions are going on with a club in the Premier League over a move.

Wood didn’t disclose the identity of the club, but one suspects that it is Burnley.

According to reports from Sky Sports, Burnley have agreed a £15 million deal with Leeds to sign the New Zealand striker.

The report adds that the 25-year-old will undergo a medical on Sunday ahead of his move.

Former Birmingham City and Hull City midfielder Curtis Woodhouse has taken to social networking site Twitter to condemn Wood’s reluctance to play for Leeds.

Wood scored 27 goals in the Championship last season, and it is going to be hard for the Yorkshire club to replace him.
