Former Leeds United defender Danny Mills believes Chris Wood will be "worried" about losing his place in the team with Callum Wilson nearing a return from injury. The New Zealand international was brought in during the January transfer window to try and plug the goal scoring gap left by Wilson's injury.
Wood penned a two-and-a-half year deal with the Magpies for a reported fee of £25million, a transfer that left many fans scratching their heads given his struggles in front of goals for Burnley this season. However, Wood has given Newcastle a completely different focal point of attack and has played an integral part in their superb nine game unbeaten streak.
The Kiwi opened his Newcastle account in the 2-1 win over Southampton, a result that was made all the more sweet given Ralph Hassenhuttl's comments over the fixture rearrangement. Sure, Wood will not be content with his goalscoring return, but Mills has a bold view of the forward.
