West Ham United have been linked with a move for Leeds United forward Chris Wood despite claims from Calciomercato they have also been interested in Fiorentina’s Nikola Kalinic. The Leeds United star has been impressive form for the club this season, and is the top scorer in Garry Monk’s side.
Due to these problems in attack Calciomercato report West Ham have recently been linked with Fiorentina’s Kalinic, but may be put off by his valuation. The Viola have put a €50m price tag on the Croatia international, and Wood would be the cheaper option for the Hammers.
The Italian football outlet’s claims West Ham have been interested in Kalinic could also be questioned given the number of forwards the East London side have been linked with in recent weeks.
Wood has been a key player in Leeds United’s push for promotion, and Monk will not want his star forward to leave in this transfer window. The New Zealand international has scored fourteen league goals this season, which has helped his side climb the table after a poor start to the campaign.
