Nottingham Forest plan to offer Chris Wood new contract

TBR Football 💝understands that Forest are ready tꩲo open talks with Wood over a new contract at the City Ground.

Wood’s current deal expires at the end of the season, but has he proven a huge figure for the club since Nuওno Espirito Santo took charge.

Indeed, during that time, only Manchester Cityꦦ goal machine Erling Haaland has scꦜored more.

Now TBR F🃏ootball understands that Forest, who are ready to open talks with Nuno soon, will reward Wood with an extension prior to his deal running out.
