Wolves lead race for Chris Wood?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly leading the chase to sign Leicester City striker Chris Wood.

The 23-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the King Power Stadium since Leicester's promotion to the Premier League last year.

Wood made just six appearances for the Foxes last season and was loaned out to Ipswich Town for the remainder of the campaign.

Championship sides Wolves, Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday are all interested in securing the frontman's signature.

However, it is Wolves who are the frontrunners to sign Wood, according to Here Is The City.

Wood has worked with Wolves boss Kenny Jackett before, having netted 11 goals in 18 games for him at Millwall in 2012.

Wood has scored 20 goals in 62 games for Leicester since joining them from West Bromwich Albion in 2013.
