# Everton: Fans fume over Chris Wood transfer update

**Many Everton fans have been left fuming as a transfer update emerged on Chris Wood.**

According to a report this week by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-and-west-ham-race-villa-to-sign-wood-and-this-is-what-moyes-thinks-of-him/), which has since been shared by [The Toffee Blues](https://twitter.com/EvertonNewsFeed/status/1400852209877798916) on Twitter, the Goodison Park club have joined West Ham and Aston Villa in the race to sign the Burnley striker.

The Clarets will demand a fee of at least £30m for him, which could potentially rise to as much as £40m if there is a bidding war.

Despite scoring an impressive tally of [12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chris-wood/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/108725/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=) goals in the top flight last season for a Burnley side who finished [17th](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table), a lot of Everton supporters do not seem to fancy the New Zealand international.

Perhaps too similar to Dominic Calvert-Lewin in terms of physical stature and playing style, Wood is also 29 years of age, so paying up to £40m for him would not really make sense as his resale value is likely to only decrease and his best years may well be behind him.
