Nottingham Forest have "agreed" a loan deal to sign Newcastle striker Chris Wood with an obligation to buy.
The Reds are looking to bring in a replacement for Taiwo Awoniyi after he was ruled out with a long-term injury earlier this month. He felt "soreness in the groin" in the 1-0 win over Southampton and is expected to be on the side lines for longer than expected.
With Wood falling down the pecking order behind Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson at St James' Park, Newcastle have allowed the 31-year-old to go out on loan for the remainder of the season. According to journalist John Percy, a deal has been agreed between the clubs, and Wood will now travel to Nottingham for a medical, later today (Thursday).
