Burnley have signed Chris Wood from Leeds for a club-record fee believed to be £15m.
The New Zealand striker scored 44 goals in 88 appearances for Leeds after joining from Leicester City in July 2015. He rose to prominence by becoming the Championship’s leading scorer with 27 goals last season.
“My ambition has been to play in the Premier League for years,” the 25-year-old said on Burnley’s website.
Burnley sold Andre Gray to Watford earlier this month and had been expecting to tie up the deal for Wood who did not play for Leeds in their win at Sunderland on Saturday. Leeds have since submitted a bid of £6m for Middlesbrough’s Rudy Gestede as they attempt to replace Wood.
Meanwhile, Swansea have had a bid of an initial £13m for Sam Clucas accepted by Hull, with the midfielder set to travel to Wales for his medical on Tuesday. Clucas sat out Hull’s 2-1 defeat to QPR on Saturday after the club had rejected offers from Burnley and Swansea. It is understood that Scotland defender Stephen Kingsley will move to the KCOM Stadium as part of the deal.
The Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has joined the Turkish club Antalyaspor on a two-year deal that brings an end to Nasri’s six-year stay at the Etihad Stadium. The 30-year-old France international joined City from Arsenal for £25m in 2011 and made 176 appearances and scored 27 goals.
Nasri won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at City but Pep Guardiola’s arrival saw him sent out on loan and he spent last season at Sevilla, where he made 30 appearances and scored three goals.
Antalyaspor have Samuel Eto’o in their ranks and have signed Jérémy Ménez and Johan Djourou, both former team-mates of Nasri.
Birmingham City have completed the double loan signing of the Arsenal defenders Carl Jenkinson and Cohen Bramall. The duo move to St Andrew’s for the rest of the season, although there is no option to buy.
Harry Redknapp has made no secret of the fact he wants to add numbers to his Birmingham squad before the transfer deadline.
Jenkinson has been surplus to requirements at Arsenal and the 25-year-old played only five games last season. He spent two seasons on loan at West Ham between 2014 and 2016 before a serious knee injury saw him return to the Emirates Stadium, where he found himself well down the pecking order.
Bramall has yet to play for Arsenal’s first-team in a competitive match but was part of their pre-season tour squad. The 21-year-old left-back was signed from non-league Hednesford Town last season.
Both players go straight into the Birmingham squad for the Carabao Cup second-round tie at home to Bournemouth on Tuesday.
