Nottingham Forest have already triggered an obligation to turn Chris Wood’s loan move from Newcastle United into a permanent transfer, according to reports.
The experienced striker joined the Reds just before the end of the January transfer window with a conditional obligation to buy in the summer based on appearances made. And according to The Times, that clause would be triggered if Wood made just three starts, which he has already done in the games against Bournemouth, Leeds United and Fulham.
As a result, the Reds will reportedly pay Newcastle £15million for the 31-year-old, who will sign a one-year contract. Wood cost the Magpies £25million when he arrived from Burnley in the 2022 January window.
