Newcastle United striker Chris Wood has joined Nottingham Forest on loan, the Reds have confirmed.
Magpies boss Eddie Howe confirmed Wood was close to completing the transfer on Friday morning.
Howe said: "I think Chris is having a medical with Nottingham Forest. That’s the situation. Chris has been a huge player for us, I have to say he has been outstanding, in every way. When we signed him we were in a very difficult league position. He played a huge part on the pitch and helped transform the team. Then this season he has been excellent on and off the pitch when he’s not played.
