Newcastle United have completed the signing of Chris Wood from relegation rivals Burnley.

The 30-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal at St James' Park, joining in a deal thought to be worth around £25m.

The New Zealand international, who becomes the Magpies' second signing of the January window after Kieran Trippier, could make his debut in Saturday's Premier League match against Watford.

"This is a very exciting opportunity for me and I'm delighted to be a Newcastle United player," Wood told the club's official website.

"I have played at St James' Park a few times and it's an amazing place, so to have the chance to represent this club with those incredible supporters behind me and my teammates is very special.

"The club and manager have been first class during this process, and I really can't wait to get onto the pitch and repay the faith they have in me, especially with a vital part of the season ahead of us."

Manager Eddie Howe added: "Chris is an important signing for us at a crucial time and I'm very pleased we have been able to move quickly and bring him here.

"He is a very dangerous attacking threat, has a physicality and character that I really like, and he has vast experience in the Premier League. He will be a great fit for us."

Wood, who scored 53 goals in 165 games during a four-and-a-half-year spell at Burnley, will wear the number 20 shirt for Newcastle.

Only goal difference separates Burnley and Newcastle in the Premier League table, with both currently sitting in the relegation zone. body check tags ::
