Leeds United won against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in the Championship on Saturday evening.
Chris Wood seems to be on his way out of Leeds, having pulled out of the Championship game against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening.
The New Zealand international striker revealed on social networking site Twitter before the match that talks with a club in the Premier League are going on.
Burnley are that club, with The Lancashire Telegraph reporting that the 25-year-old former Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion striker will undergo a medical at the Clarets on Sunday.
Wood is the first-choice striker at Leeds and is one of the best players in the team, having scored 27 goals in the Championship last season.
When asked if Leeds will now sign a new striker with Wood set to leave, head coach Christiansen told Sky Sports: “Well, of course, now the situation is to find one, but Victor and the board is making good work to try to find the best.”
Wood was not in the Leeds team against Sunderland on Saturday evening, but the Whites still managed to pick up all three points from the Championship encounter at the Stadium of Light courtesy of a 2-0 win.
Samuel Saiz put the West Yorkshire outfit in the lead in the 21st minute, and Stuart Dallas doubled the advantage on 76 minutes.
