Chris Wood: Burnley striker to undergo medical at Newcastle who have met release clause of around £20m

Chris Wood is travelling to the North East to have a medical with a club that has met his release clause.

Eddie Howe said that top scorer Callum Wilson would be out for two months with a calf injury after Saturday's shock FA Cup third-round defeat to Cambridge United.

Wood had a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave if a specific fee was tabled, but he is still a key player for the Clarets.

Eddie Howe says that the lack of effort cost them in their FA Cup defeat against Cambridge.

The New Zealand international, who has three goals for the Clarets this season, could make his debut for the club against the Hornets on Saturday.

The January window could see two new strikers sign for the club, with negotiations ongoing for a deal for Hugo Ekitike.

There are talks for Ekitike.

Hugo Ekitike is also being targeted.

The English side made an informal offer for the France U20 international, but it was not enough to match the valuation of the French club.

Two unnamed Premier League clubs are interested in the forward, but the Magpies are expected to make a formal offer.

In 17 appearances this season, Ekitike has scored eight goals and registered three assists. The 19-year-old can play on the left side.

Wolves andNewcastle are interested in Monaco.

There is a chance that Badiashile could be a defensive recruit.

The arrival of Trippier has led to the addition of defence.

They lodged a second bid worth more than $30m for Lille's Sven Botman, but the French club value him closer to $35m.

Wolves andNewcastle are interested in the Monaco centre-back.

The 20-year-old Monaco academy graduate is one of the options both clubs are looking at.

At least one centre-back is the primary target of the club.

Wolves wanted to sign Botman in the summer, but were also interested in Duje Caleta-Car, who is on the market in January.

Wolves are not expected to spend a lot of money on new players this month.

Scott Sellars, the club's technical director, said last week that the club would not be busy in January.
