West Ham, Sunderland in for Chris Wood?

Premier League duo West Ham United and Sunderland have expressed interest in signing in-form Leeds United striker Chris Wood.

The former Leicester City man has been in fine form for the Championship outfit netting 17 goals across all competitions.

Garry Monk's side are reluctant to lose their asset in their promotion push this season, and they have now placed a hefty £15m asking price on the player's head.

According to ESPN, both the Hammers and the Black Cats could end their interest in the player, should Leeds refuse to come down from their initial sum.

West Ham United are on the search for a fresh striker after having failed in attempts to sign both Jermaine Defoe and Scott Hogan.

Meanwhile, cash-strapped Sunderland are hoping to find a suitable back-up to the ever-impressive Defoe.
