Newcastle boss Eddie Howe confirms Nottingham Forest transfer

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has confirmed Chris Wood is set to join Nottingham Forest on a loan deal.

The 31-year-old is close to completing his move to the City Ground on an initial loan basis. The deal reportedly includes an obligation to make Wood's move permanent if certain requirements are met - the price is in the region of £15million.

Wood has fallen down the pecking order at St James' Park, currently behind duo Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak, making just four starts in the Premier League this season. Howe however, admits it was a 'difficult' decision to make, but respects the striker's wishes.
