New Zealand international Chris Wood just can't stop scoring for Nottingham Forest.

The 32-year-old made the move to the City Ground back in 2023, and has made a huge impact ever since.

In fact, Wood has moved into second place in Forest's all time Premier League top scorers with 23 goals in 48 games, just one behind Brian Roy with 24.

With his eighth of the season, only Erling Haaland (11) has scored more goals in the top flight in the current campaign.

Wood's form makes him a lethal weapon for Forest too. Of players that have taken a minimum of five shots in the Premier League, only Yoane Wissa has a better conversion rate (five goals from 13 shots) than Wood's eight from 21, giving the Kiwi a 38.1% accuracy rate.

Can the striker keep it up?
