Aston Villa want to sign Chris Wood from Burnley

Aston Villa are interested in signing Chris Wood from Premier League rival Burnley in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. The Villans are on the hunt for a new striker this summer, and they have reportedly identified former Leeds star Wood as a potential target.

However, Villa are not the only club in the Premier League who are keen on signing Wood this summer. There are two more clubs in the Premier League top 12 who want the New Zealand international striker. Burnley will demand at least £30 million for the 29-year-old and could even push it to £40 million.

Wood is one of the better strikers in the Premier League. The 29-year-old New Zealand international made 32 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Burnley this season, scoring 12 goals and providing three assists in the league, according to WhoScored. Wood scored 14 goals and gave one assist in the league in 2019-20, according to WhoScored.
