AC Milan are among the sides who have been credited with an interest in signing Nottingham Forest’s in-form striker Chris Wood.
According to Football Insider, Milan and Napoli ‘monitoring Wood’s contract talks at Nottingham Forest’. They are still in discussions with the 33-year-old over an extension, given his current deal only runs until the end of the season.
Saudi Pro League clubs are also attentive to Wood’s situation, knowing that from January 1 he can sign a pre-contract with a club abroad. He has 11 goals in 19 Premier League games so far with Forest now second in the league and dreaming of European football.
Milan will face a striker conundrum once the end of the season comes around for several reasons. Firstly, the summer signing Alvaro Morata has been far from prolific so far. Secondly and thirdly, both Tammy Abraham (loan) and Luka Jovic (expiring deal) are both currently set to depart.
The Rossoneri have been no strangers to dipping into the market for veteran centre-forward options either. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was in his late 30s when he returned, Olivier Giroud was in his mid-30s and Morata is 32.
However, more signs point towards the management investing in a younger profile given they have put off doing so for many years now.
A free agent signing who is anything but a guarantee for goals. How surprising that his name would pop up ..
Dude has more matches in second and third tier than in top flight…
12 g/a in 19 games is very good and with 34 shots and 11 goals means he scores roughly once every 3 shots. I always knew this to our was bound to happen, I don’t think it’s a bad thing except that he’s a bit old, but then again so was giroud
Giroud had ten times the pedigree compared to Wood.
For how many seasons in his career ?
Why do we need a 30+year old striker?
For goals?
Yeah, what good did Giroud do for the team, eh?
This is almost as brain dead as the links to Calvert Lewin. Ambitionless idiots…
No I’ll pass it to Napoli
This team needs a goal scorer if he can provide that for a year or two, please sign him
Zirkzee on loan until summer then get rid of jovic & abraham and buy the real striker
Jonathan David for free let’s go
Click bait!
Milan will never invest for big reliable striker in the next 2-3 years because they wait for Camarda. If Camarda confirms expectations, they will sell him , after that expect Miln spend high for a new striker. That’s the reality under this speculative american ownership.
That’s the reality? And what evidence do you have? None.
The reality is under your eyes and nose but you can’t see it . Last summer mercato tells you something ? Our current strikers ?
Haish not growth, but more less
No, just no
