According to The Sun, Chris Wood is a target for West Ham United this summer.
Leeds United striker Chris Wood is in high demand this summer after an impressive season in the Championship.
Wood scored 27 league goals to help Leeds finish in 7th place in the second tier, narrowly short of a place in the play-offs.
The New Zealand international managed 30 goals in 48 games in all competitions and this has caught the attention of some Premier League suitors, including West Ham.
Southampton, Stoke City and Swansea City are also keen on signing the 25-year-old, who enjoyed his most prolific season to date.
Leeds are facing a battle to keep their prize asset at Elland Road as West Ham continue their search for a new striker.
A 20-goal Premier League striker is something lacking from this West Ham team and Slaven Bilic is desperate to get another marksman in because of persistent injuries to Diafra Sakho and Andy Carroll.
Wood could be the man for the Hammers and he may be tempted to join international team mate Winston Reid at the London Stadium.
This report believes that Chris Wood is valued at about £20m this summer.
