U.S. international Bobby Wood should stay at Hamburg - Jurgen Klinsmann

Former U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has urged Bobby Wood to stay at Hamburg despite links with Premier League clubs.

After playing the German second tier with 1860 Munich, Erzgebirge Aue and Union Berlin, Wood is enjoying life in the Bundesliga after making the move to Hamburg last summer.

There has been speculation the 24-year-old U.S. international could leave, though, with several outlets reporting that Wood has a release clause ranging between €10 million and €12m in his current contract.

"Bobby still is in a period of development," Klinsmann, who handed the striker his international debut in 2013, told Hamburger Morgenpost.
