Nottingham Forest are pushing towards agreeing a new contract with Chris Wood as a result of his scintillating form so far this season.
As things stand, the 33-year-old’s deal is set to expire at the end of the season, but there is a growing feeling that he will commit his future to Forest.Wood is happy at the City Ground and is prepared to sign a new deal with the club. So far this season, Wood has scored 12 goals in 20 league appearances, and has established his place as a crucial starter for Forest.His goal against Wolves, the second in a 3-0 win, help secure Forest’s third-placed position in the Premier League, level on points with Arsenal and four ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea.Brown insisted that Forest have weighed up what it would cost to sign a new striker with the same output as Wood, and decided keeping him at the club would be the best option.
The former scout, who has a wealth of experience working closely with top players after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has insisted that both parties are keen to extend his stay and could open talks imminently.“He’s playing in a side which suits his style perfectly, they’ve got lots of pace, wingers who get down the flanks and get crosses in, and they’re not afraid to go long.“He’s been the icing on the cake of what has been a fantastic season for them so far.
