Nottingham Forest make move to sign Newcastle United striker Chris Wood on loan

Nottingham Forest are trying to sign Newcastle United striker Chris Wood on loan until the end of the season.

A deal for the New Zealand international could go through in time for him to play against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.

Wood played a crucial part in Newcastle's relegation battle last season when he joined them from Burnley for £25m a year ago.

He has played 18 games for the Magpies this season, but only four starts.

Wood has also played once in the FA Cup and three times in the Carabao Cup, scoring three goals in his 22 appearances in the 2022-23 campaign.
