Sunderland and Premier League Rival Target Leeds United Striker Valued at £15m

Published on: 17 January 2017

The transfer window is well and truly underway and, according to "?ESPN FC, West Ham and Sunderland are soon going to get involved in all the fun.


Apparently, both Premier League clubs are interested in securing a deal for Leeds United striker Chris Wood, but are apparently perturbed by the Championship club's lofty valuation of the New Zealand international.

Looking to maintain their push for promotion, Leeds (currently third in the table) have no desire to sell the player; therefore, if he is to leave, they will be looking to get at least £15m for their troubles - having scored an very healthy 17 goals in 29 games in all competitions, the 25-year-old has certainly impressed in a lone forward role this term.

Having failed in their attempts to sign Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe, West Ham are still in the market for a new striker. 


While Brentford's Scott Hogan has also been mooted as a potential target, perhaps a far bigger concern at present for the east London side is dealing with the fallout from Dimitri Payet wishing to leave the club.
