Leeds United’s New Zealand striker is attracting interest from the top-flight.
Leeds United fans were left concerned today when it was reported that their star striker Chris Wood was being targeted by Premier League sides West Ham United and Sunderland.
The report, from ESPN, suggests that Leeds United have told both clubs they would expect a bid of around £15 million if they were to consider selling Wood – who has scored 17 goals in 29 appearances this season for the Yorkshire club.

Of course, Leeds United will not want to sell the player but there may come a point when, financially, it may not be viable to keep the player at Elland Road.
But if that time comes, they should certainly consider getting someone in return.
So who should they ask West Ham or Sunderland to throw into any deal?

Leeds have been linked with the Hammers player for some time now. The striker would arrive as a potential replacement for Wood and would not shave too much off the fee that Leeds reportedly want for the player.
Definitely an option to consider.
Fabio Borini
The Italian played with Monk at Swansea City earlier in his career and would be more than welcomed at Leeds by his former captain.
He is currently struggling at Sunderland and a move to Leeds could be a fresh start to his stalling career.
Would shave a chunk off the asking price, but could be a brilliant addition to Leeds United.
