Chinese club plot move for Leeds star after missing out on Chelsea hitman Diego Costa
CHRIS WOOD has emerged as a target for Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian after they failed in their attempts to sign Chelsea hitman Diego Costa.
Tianjin Quanjian are interested in signing Leeds striker Chris Wood
Wood, 25, has been in impressive form for Leeds this season with his 17 goals helping Garry Monk’s side mount a push for a return to the Premier League for the first time in 13 years.
Tianjin Quanjian were interested in securing a deal for Chelsea striker Diego Costa, but a big-money move was blocked by the Blues.

Wood signed for Leeds from Leicester in the summer of 2015 and has also been linked with moves to West Ham, Sunderland, Swansea and Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
