Burnley are on the brink of signing Chris Wood from Leeds United for a £15m fee.

Since joining Leeds from Leicester City in July 2015, Woods scored 44 goals in 88 appearances for his side.

According to reports, the 25-year-old will have a medical with the Premier League side on Sunday, as he did not played for Leeds during the match against Sunderland last Saturday.

'Due to strong interest from a Premier League team, the ongoing discussions with the club, and given it has always been my ambition to play at the highest level, I don't feel it is right that I play today', he posted on his twitter account.
