Tom Heaton believes Chris Wood will love the environment at Burnley when he completes his move to the club from Leeds United. 

Burnley have agreed a fee of around £15m with Leeds for Wood and have been putting him through his medical paces ahead of putting the finishing touches to the move.




He will become the second Leeds player to make the trip to Burnley this summer, following Charlie Taylor, and goalkeeper Heaton thinks Wood will enjoy life with the Clarets.

Heaton also feels Burnley will give Wood the perfect platform to become even better.

 


"One thing I can say is that every player loves the culture we’ve got at the football club", he told the Burnley Express.

"That environment we’ve set certainly gives everyone a base to get better and develop.

"If we get him in, it will be a very good addition, and we hope he will be pleased with what he sees."

Wood scored 30 goals for Leeds last season, netting over 40 per cent of his side's total goals in the Championship, and the Whites had been hoping to keep hold of him.

However the New Zealand international wants to test himself in the Premier League and Burnley will hope he can quickly find his goalscoring touch in the top flight.
