Newcastle United have played down reports linking striker Chris Wood with a return to Leeds United, according to Chronicle Live. This comes after reports at the weekend suggested Leeds are weighing up a January bid for Wood as they look to add another body to their front line.
Football Insider claim that Leeds will look to ease the pressure on top-scorer Rodrigo by entering the loan market and making a temporary move for Wood. Patrick Bamford's injury struggles mean the addition of a forward could significantly bolster survival hopes.
Wood scored an impressive 44 goals across a two-year spell at the Whites before departing for the Premier League and Burnley in 2017. Having become a proven top-flight striker, he signed for Newcastle United in a £25 million January deal.
