Chris Wood has completed his loan move to Nottingham Forest from Newcastle and is set to join the club permanently in the summer.
Wood only signed for Newcastle in January 2022, leaving then-relegation rivals Burnley in a £25million move.
The forward will remain at the City Ground until the end of the campaign and if Forest’s battle for top-flight survival is successful, it would trigger a full-time deal.
The New Zealand international, who helped Newcastle avoid relegation last season, has played 18 games in the league this campaign, scoring twice, but has only made four starts.
The Tricky Trees, needed a forward after Taiwo Awoniyi was ruled out for up to eight weeks and Wood is a proven Premier League player, having delivered regularly for Burnley – reaching double figures for goals in four consecutive seasons.
