Newcastle have completed the £25m signing of Burnley striker Chris Wood

The Magpies triggered the release clause in the 30-year-old's contract this week following the news top scorer Callum Wilson has been ruled out for eight weeks with a calf injury.

He becomes Newcastle's second signing this month after Kieran Trippier arrived for £12m from Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

Wood had been a key player for relegation rivals Burnley, who sit just above Newcastle on goal difference in the bottom three, and started 19 games for the Clarets this season.
