Nottingham Forest seal ANOTHER signing as Chris Wood’s loan move is made permanent - as the striker's third appearance for the club triggers his £15m transfer from Newcastle

Nottingham Forest have secured the permanent signing of Chris Wood after the clauses were activated in his loan move from Newcastle United.

Wood moved to the City Ground last month, and after making his third appearance for the club in their 2-0 defeat to Fulham last weekend, it triggered a £15million transfer for the 31-year-old.

The New Zealander hasn't managed to get on the scoresheet for his new club so far, but has been a regular under Steve Cooper since making the switch from the Magpies.

He moved to Newcastle in January 2022 in a £25million move from Burnley, and helped the club retain their Premier League status last season.
