Leeds United striker Chris Wood is nearing a move to Super Lig champions Besiktas according to reports in Turkey.
Turkish outlet Fotomac report that Besiktas are on the hunt for a new striker following the departure of Vincent Aboubakar.
Per the source, Leeds striker Chris Wood is on the Besiktas’ transfer shortlist. Furthermore, the report states that the Black Eagles have held early talks with the powerful striker.
Besiktas scouts have been monitoring Wood for several weeks and relayed back a positive report to the clubs management.
Besiktas boss Senol Gunes has also given the green light for the transfer to go ahead.

Following the departure of Aboubakar, manager Senol Gunes is understood to be keen on signing a target man forward.
Wood appears to fit the bill perfectly standing in at 1.91 metres.
The New Zealand international scored an impressive 27 goals in 44 Championship appearances for Leeds United last season.
The report goes onto state that Wood could be available for €6 million.
The Istanbul giants would be able to offer the forward Champions League football next season if the deal were to go ahead.
Interesting.
6 million euros – is somebody having a laugh? Leeds Utd value Chris Wood (no “s”) at £20 million.
that 5.3 million..this writer is taking the piss
valued at 20 million for a start! Besiktas have more chance of meeting Allahu than signing Chris Wood. Let that sink in!!
Bad old story this – can’t even spell his surname and valuation totally out… Fire the author and get a journalist that actually does their homework. Jog on!!

“The report goes onto state that Woods could be available for €6 million.” what a load of BS..When I read that I knew it was a stupid story…5.3 million quid…lol.
how can you believe in such stupidity ..you really think that he’s already spoken to them,no rumor Wood is in Turkey and no chance would he be sold now at only 5.3 million pound
it from Turkey anyway,what do you expect? this guy is trying to stir something cuz of what happened many years ago,Rat!
Fake news just like all of your fake T shirts, Handbags, Sun Glasses, Tobacco and everything else fake that comes from Turkey.
Ha ha good one, I didn’t think today was April the 1st. I will eat my new Leeds X L long sleeve jersey if that true.
Keep your kebab munching mouths and filthy knife wielding hands away from our striker. History involving Leeds and Turks is not good, why would we even consider doing business with a Turkish club.
I don’t think that any 2nd tier player is worth £20 million, that is an obscene amount of money. BUT. If Assombalonga went for £15 million then Chris Wood is worth £20 million of anyone’s money! The Turks can put their bloody hand in their pockets if they want to sign him!
£6 million! Pfft! Keep dreaming or pay what the market deems he is worth…..like we’re going to sell him for such an insulting amount. Maybe under Bates 5 years ago.
If Neymar is worth£200million we,ll take £150million for Woods just because of where your from.
