Re-signing Chris Wood could “free up” Rodrigo to play as a number 10 for Leeds United. That is the view of former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell, after reports linked the New Zealand international with a shock return.
Wood spent two seasons at Elland Road, leaving in 2017 after emerging as one of the Championship’s most feared strikers. An impressive 44 goals in 88 games earned him a Premier League move to Burnley.
Under Sean Dyche’s stewardship, the 31-year-old developed into a reputable top-flight striker. Newcastle United triggered a £25million release clause in January - their hour of desperate need - but a move has not worked out.
