merlin1969 Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian have turned their attentions to Leeds United striker Chris Wood, having failed to secure the signature of Chelsea's Diego Costa, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC. Wood, 25, has scored 17 Championship goals this season for a revived Leeds as they push for a return to the Premier League after 13 years in the lower divisions, and the New Zealand international is also reportedly on the wishlists of Premier League strugglers Swansea City and Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, Tianjin Quanjian, managed by Italy's 2006 World cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro, have been highly active in the transfer market and signed midfielder Axel Witsel from Zenit St Petersburg, with the Belgium international reported to be pocketing a salary of almost £300,000-a-week. Their interest in Wood follows club owner Shu Yuhui revealing failed moves for a series of strikers in Monaco's Radamel Falcao, PSG's Edinson Cavani, Benfica's Raul Jimenez and Real Madrid's Karim Benzema. Former Brazil striker Luis Fabiano, Tianjin's top scorer in last season's promotion from the Chinese second division, was released as a free agent in December as new league restrictions, limiting clubs to three non-Chinese players per game, have clipped the wings of CSL clubs. Wood has played for 10 English clubs since joining West Brom from Hamilton Wanderers in 2009. Leeds signed him from Leicester in the summer of 2015, and this season his goals have helped fire Garry Monk's team into contention for promotion as they sit third. Both West Ham United and Sunderland have also been linked with his signature, though Friday morning saw Sunderland manager David Moyes dismiss all transfer links with any names his club has been linked to this week.

MC Prussian Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 He's got a more than decent peg on him and can be quite the force going forward (a bit like a tractor ), but more often than not, he came across as immobile, a bit sluggish and surprisingly fearful of headers whilst he was with us. He's got a certain knack about him, but remains a rather one-dimensional player. A poorer version of Harry Kane. If he were able to work on his overall game still, he could potentially become another Andy Carroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 Tbf I've no doubt Chris could do a job in China, but it's a bit of a let-down for your fans after going for names like Cavani or Benzema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 When I heard about Chris Wood's next career move involving travel and the Chinese I thought he'd got as job as a delivery driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FriendlyRam Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 Always seems to score against us the ba***** .. he was great against us last week, bullet header as well I think he'd be decent in the Prem We were linked with him but signed Bent instead.

NeilLCFC Posted 19 May 2017 Share Posted 19 May 2017 £20m! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3597481/leeds-chris-wood-20million-target-for-premier-league-clubs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy Posted 19 May 2017 Share Posted 19 May 2017 Leeds asking for £20m doesn't really surprise me. The transfer market has gone wild and he's just banged in 30 goals. If he hadn't played for us previously, we'd probably be saying he'd be a good target . Fair play to him though, you have to play to improve and he's gone away and done that. I hope he doesn't go to West Ham though, a club that could ruin any player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
