Leeds United striker Chris Wood has completed a £15million move to Burnley.

The 25-year-old sat out the weekend win away at Sunderland amid interest from Sean Dyche and travelled for a medical in Lancashire on Sunday.

Sportsmail understands Burnley have tied Wood down to a four-year contract worth in the region of £35,000 a week.

Dyche was desperate for attacking reinforcements after sanctioning the £18m sale of Andre Gray to Watford.

Leeds had hoped to agree on a new long-term contract, significantly raising his £15,000-a-week wages, but the New Zealand international wanted Premier League football.
