The All Whites striker Chris Wood has agreed to join Championship club Leicester from Premier League football side West Bromwich Albion.
Wood has become sought-after in English football's second tier after a successful loan spell with Millwall, where he scored 11 goals in 19 appearances in the first half of this season.
The 21-year-old initially indicated he would be willing to join Millwall on a permanent basis and the Championship outfit made a club-record bid to sign him from Albion.
But Leicester matched Millwall's bid of around $2.5 million and Wood decided Leicester offered a better chance of promotion to the Premier League.
Wood's loan at Millwall was then cut short and he returned to Albion before agreeing personal terms with fifth-placed Leicester, who will officially complete the move once the January transfer window opens.
