Newcastle United fans could not hide their excitement after the club received a reported transfer fee of £15million from Nottingham Forest to sign Chris Wood, as they thanked the forward for his time at St James' Park.
Steve Cooper's side confirmed the loan signing of Wood from Newcastle on Friday afternoon for the remainder of the season with an obligation to buy the striker for a reported fee of £15m. Wood played a vital role in the Magpies' relegation battle last season when he signed for the club from Burnley for £25m last January.
During his 12 months in the north east, the New Zealand international found the back of the net five times in 39 appearances for Eddie Howe's side. The 31-year-old has only started six matches for Newcastle across all competitions this season as he saw his game time diminish.
