New Zealand football striker Chris Wood is heading to English Premier League club Burnley, having signed a record deal to transfer from Leeds United.
Burnley have signed Wood for a club record fee for four years, making the 25 year old their sixth new signing of the transfer window.
Wood
was the leading scorer in the Championship last season, having scored 27 goals for Leeds United.
Burnley didn't announce the fee for Wood's transfer on Monday, but reports suggested it would be about STG15 million ($NZ26m) with the Kiwi earning 35,000 pounds a week, which works out to around $NZ3.2m a year.
Wood joins fellow All White Winston Reid in England's top flight with the two set to possibly clash in October when West Ham host Burnley.
