Is now the time for Chris Wood at Wolves?

The one thing that has become clear today is that he won't come cheap, which some fans will think rules Wolves out of a move immediately.

The 24-year-old only signed for Championship rivals Leeds United from Leicester City in the summer and has scored eight goals in 23 games.

Wolves were in the race to land him at the time and could apparently come calling again, but Leeds want in excess of the fee they paid for him.

Boss Kenny Jackett has some of the £10million fee Bournemouth paid for Benik Afobe this month to use, as he tries to find a replacement.

And Leeds manager Steve Evans said: "When people come in and offer us a lot of money for Chris Wood – a lot more than the president paid for him – it shows you the value others place on him."

Another thing we know for sure is that Jackett likes Wood. He wanted him last summer, the previous one and on loan when a permanent £1.25m move broke down.

Each time, a deal could not be brokered with Leicester City and, in the end, he headed to Elland Road for a fee Wolves weren't prepared to pay.

Will that change now? Never say never, but only likely if Wolves get desperate in filling the void for Afobe. Shelling out around £5m in the process might not be a wise business move.

That's even if Leeds will sell. They would not be beaten to him before and will want him to spearhead their rise up the table. It's nowhere near iron-clad.

Maybe it's written in the stars what Wood will pull on the gold'n'black shirt one day. And that would make him the latest one to cross the Black Country divide.

Did we forget to remind you about that? Yes, Wood came through the youth ranks and ended up making the club a tidy profit for developing him.

They brought him over from his native New Zealand in 2009 on the recommendation of Roger Wilkinson, who set up a trial for him.

He soon starting banging in the goals for the Baggies' academy and reserve sides, before injuries saw him called up to the first-team in 2009.

Injuries saw him surprisingly selected for a game at Portsmouth and an appearance off the bench saw him become only the fifth New Zealander to play in the Premier League.

He signed his first pro deal with Albion at the end of the 2008-09 season and extended it that December for two years, with another couple of seasons in the the club's favour.

He had scored his first senior goal, a stunning long-range effort against Doncaster, in the September after the team had dropped into the Championship.

His second came during an FA Cup tie against Huddersfield in January 2010, netting as a substitute. It turned out to be his last competitive strike for them.

As soon as West Brom went back up to the top-flight, Wood was being borrowed by all and sundry. Barnsley, Brighton, Birmingham and Bristol City all had him in 2010-11.

Then came a spell at Millwall in September 2012, which got him his permanent move away. Both the Lions and Leicester tabled bids that were accepted at the Hawthorns.

In the end, the Foxes got their man but, after promotion, his role again diminished, although he did get his first Premier League goal against Everton early on in the season.

By January 2015, he was again loaned out to Ipswich Town, before City recalled him with a relegation fight looming. They sold him to Leeds last summer.

Wood is also a regular for his country after featuring for the Under-17, Under-23 and senior teams. He has 39 full caps, scoring 14 goals.
