    Burnley have signed Chris Wood for a club record fee.

    The 25-year-old has left Leeds for what is expected to be a figure of around £15m.

    The striker scored 44 goals in 88 appearances after joining the Championship side from Leicester City in July 2015.

    The New Zealand international has signed a four-year-deal with The Clarets.

    Burnley's previous record signing was January recruit Robbie Brady, whose fee could reach £13m.

    Wood spoke about coming to the Premier League: "I've had tastes of being in there but I've never had the chance to give it a proper bash. Coming here I feel I've got a proper opportunity to do that. I've never started a Premier League game and this is what I want to do.

    "This is a club that wants to stay in the Premier League for years to come and it's going that way."
