Chris Wood isn’t the flashiest striker in the Premier League, but he’s doing exactly what Forest needs — scoring important goals.

The veteran New Zealand forward has stepped up in key moments this season, using his strength and positioning to great effect. Whether starting or coming off the bench, Wood gives Forest a focal point up top.

While he doesn’t run the channels like younger strikers, he knows where to be inside the box. His movement and heading ability remain top class, and defenders know they can’t switch off around him.

Manager Nuno Espírito Santo appreciates his experience and composure, often using him in tight matches where one goal makes all the difference.

In a squad packed with younger talent, Wood is the seasoned finisher who’s quietly making sure Forest stays competitive.

Aston Villa mengumumkan perpanjangan kontrak kapten mereka, John McGinn, hingga 2028. Gelandang asal Skotlandia ini jadi salah satu pemain paling konsisten di bawah Unai Emery.

McGinn tak hanya kuat secara fisik, tapi juga punya pengaruh besar di dalam ruang ganti. Ia tampil vital saat Villa lolos ke Liga Champions musim lalu.

“Saya merasa bangga dan terhormat menjadi bagian dari perjalanan klub ini,” kata McGinn dalam pernyataan resmi klub.

Perpanjangan ini menegaskan posisi McGinn sebagai simbol kekuatan dan loyalitas Villa.

Dengan skuad yang kian matang, musim depan bisa jadi momen emas bagi klub Birmingham ini.
