The Leeds United striker is set for an international football tournament.

Leeds United's Chris Wood scores their second goal

Leeds United striker Chris Wood has tweeted his excitement ahead of the Confederations Cup in Russia.

The 25-year-old is on international duty with New Zealand as the All Whites kick off their Group A campaign against the host nation this evening.

And the big Leeds man – who scored 30 goals for the English club last season – is looking forward to the tournament.

The former Leicester City forward was arguably Leeds’ most important player last season as Wood wound up scoring 27 Championship goals, spearheading a promotion charge which fell flat toward the end of the campaign.

United’s hopes of reaching the Premier League under Thomas Christiansen next season could well hinge on the big man replicating his goal-laden form.

And fans of the Yorkshire club warn him not to get injured.

The ex-West Brom man will also take on Mexico and Portugal in Group A.
