Chris Wood is edging ever closer to one of the Premier League's most prestigious milestones: the 100-goal club. With 92 goals already to his name, the Nottingham Forest striker is just eight strikes away from joining an elite group of players who have reached triple figures in England's top flight.

Wood's journey to this point has been a remarkable one, spanning multiple clubs and over a decade of top-flight football. He made his Premier League debut for West Bromwich Albion under Tony Mowbray back in 2009, though he failed to find the net during his time at The Hawthorns. From there, he moved to Leicester City, where he scored just one league goal, before finding his true scoring touch at Burnley. It was at Turf Moor where Wood truly flourished, netting an impressive 49 Premier League goals for the Clarets. A brief stint at Newcastle United followed, where he added four more goals to his tally, before his current run at Nottingham Forest, where he has already scored 38 league goals and counting.

The 34-year-old New Zealand international reached 100 Premier League goal involvements (89 goals and 11 assists) in May 2025, during a thrilling 2-2 draw against East Midlands rivals Leicester City. That same season, Wood etched his name into Forest's history books by becoming only the second player ever to score 20 Premier League goals for the club in a single campaign, matching Stan Collymore's legendary 22-goal haul from the 1994-95 season.

Despite an injury-hit season, Wood has continued to find the back of the net, proving that his poacher's instinct remains as sharp as ever. For Forest fans wondering just how close their number nine is to that magical century, the answer is simple: tantalizingly close.
