Nottingham Forest star Chris Wood to sign 'five-year' deal - fans react

Nottingham Forest fans are desperate for the club to tie in-form striker Chris Wood down to a new deal after his remarkable start to the season.

According to journalist John Percy, the club have opened talks with the 32-year-old over a new deal with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

With seven Premier League goals in their opening nine games, only Erling Haaland and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo sit above Wood in the scoring charts.

The New Zealand international has scored nine of Forest’s last 13 Premier League goals, including seven of their 11 this season, accounting for 69% of their 2024/25 goals.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have inserted themselves in the conversation for European qualification after four wins, four draws, and just one defeat from their opening nine league games.

Football Insider revealed (October 29) that Wood is very happy at the club and is open to signing a new deal as soon as possible.

Wood has averaged a goal every other game for Forest since making the permanent switch from Newcastle United back in July 2023.

He has a great chance to add to his already impressive tally as they prepare to face strugglers West Ham on Saturday (November 2).

Who would have thought a couple of years ago that we would be so pleased that Chris Wood is being offered a new contract at the age of 32? #nffc https://t.co/aVRUsaLMX2— Kevin Marriott (@KJMsport57) October 28, 2024

Woody is awesome. No doubt he puts in the effort to remain in best shape. Works damn hard for the team. And. He delivers with goals… He’s just a great pro, with a great attitude. I’m also sure he’s an incredible roll model for all his team mates. ????— David Francis Davis (@DavidFrancisDa3) October 28, 2024

even if all your analytics department does is say stuff like "don't give a 32 year old a contract extension in the midst of a super hot finishing run" it'll pay for itself so fast https://t.co/Vei2RSFwU7— Michael Caley (@MC_of_A) October 28, 2024

Give him what he wants.
