Burnley ready to make improved £20m bid for Leeds United striker Chris Wood after initial bid was rejected
- Burnley's initial bid of £12million for Chris Wood was rejected by Leeds United
- Leeds have said the 25-year-old is not for sale but Burnley are keen on him
- Sean Dyche is undeterred and wants to push through a deal for the striker
Burnley are poised to make an improved £20million bid for Leeds United striker Chris Wood.
Leeds have said the 25-year old is not for sale and dismissed Burnley's offer of £12m plus add-ons last week.
However, Sean Dyche is undeterred and wants to push through a deal for the New Zealand international who scored 30 goals last season.
Burnley are understood to be ready to offer Leeds United £20million for Chris Wood
Burnley had considered Napoli's Duvan Zapata and Nicolas de Proville of Lille but Dyche prefers players with English league experience.
Leeds are ambitious to gain promotion and would struggle to replace Wood's goals though they have lined up Pierre-Michel Lasogga from Hamburg and Ross McCormack of Aston Villa. Both are likely to be initial loans.
Burnley sold striker Andre Gray to Watford earlier this summer for £18.5m.
