Newcastle United have released the following short video of Chris Wood’s arrival on Tyneside. The video shows the striker undergoing his medical while meeting some of his new teammates.
Chris Wood gets down to business at #NUFC! ?

The final part of the video shows Wood taking part in his first training session with the lads. Of note, Jamaal Lascelles, Jamal Lewis, and Matty Longstaff were involved in the session.
Lascelles was not available against Cambridge as Eddie Howe was forced to field Emil Krafth and Fabian Schar as his center-back pairing. He should be available for Watford tomorrow. Though Schar and Ciaran Clark were not spotted in the short video.
Lewis has been ruled out until later in the month with the hamstring injury he suffered against Liverpool. It appears the left-back is on target to potentially make his return for the trip to Leeds next weekend. His return will provide a massive boost on the left.
It’s great to see Matty Longstaff back at Newcastle once again. His loan spell with Aberdeen was one to forget with just five appearances. He was recalled at the beginning of the month but had suffered an injury at the backend of his time in Scotland.
During his press conference for Cambridge, Eddie Howe revealed he hadn’t had a chance to take a look at the local lad. The 21-year-old is back involved and hopefully, Howe can find the best path forward for him.

Comment #90Also on the Newcastle “tax” re players… It could be used to our advantage…. Rival bids for a decent player reasonable offer of 15 mill… Wed have him or not so bid say 19 Mill… Just so other bidders have to pay same “tax” presuming sellers will only accept highest bid. Stick it up em all.

Comment #92I’m not convinced by Philips or Holdings qualities. Not to say they won’t improve but there’s been little evidence in their consistency that’s leads me to believe they will.
I always wanted Tarkowski but that may not be achievable.

That’s about the limit of computer skills I’m afraid.
I’m happy with Wood signing. A premier league striker is better
than no striker.
