The Leeds United striker has been the subject of two approaches from Burnley.

Leeds United have offered Chris Wood a three-year contract extension amid strong interest from Premier League Burnley, according to Sky Sports (11:53).

Burnley are reported to have had two offers turned down for Wood, the first of which was said to be worth £12 million.

But Leeds are determined to keep the New Zealand international, who scored 30 goals last season across three competitions, and hope to get him to commit his future to the Whites, according to Sky Sports.

Should Wood turn down the club’s proposal, however, it would be the clearest indication yet that the player is open to leaving Elland Road.

The 25-year-old has two years left to run on his existing deal and his value is only likely to decrease beyond the close of this summer’s transfer window.

Burnley are reported to have turned their attention to Deportivo La Coruna striker Florin Andone after failing in their attempts to sign Wood, but could be encouraged to return to the table if the player declines Leeds’ offer.
