Former England striker claims selling Chris Wood ‘not an option’ for Newcastle amid Leeds United links

Wood enjoyed one of the finest goalscoring spells at Elland Road before earning a Premier League move to Burnley in 2017. An impressive 44 strikes in 88 games inspired Sean Dyche to stump up around £15million.

The New Zealand international would soon become an established top-flight striker and, after five years at Turf Moor, Newcastle turned to him in their time of desperate need. Plunged in a relegation fight, the Magpies triggered his £25million release clause in January.
