Steve Howey reckons that Chris Wood would score even more goals should he sign for Aston Villa.

The New Zealand striker is on the back of another impressive campaign in Burnley colours – scoring 12 Premier League goals to not only help keep the Clarets in the league, but to continue his record of having returned double figures in every season at this level.

Wood had only managed four goals in his opening 19 appearances but hit red-hot form by netting eight goals across an eight-game spell between March and May, including a treble in Burnley's fine win at Wolves.

Such is Wood's goalscoring exploits for the struggling Clarets, he's been linked with some bigger sides in the shape of Everton and Aston Villa, whilst he's also on West Ham's radar.

All three of those possess far more creative players than Burnley, with Jack Grealish perhaps the best of which at Villa.

And Howey exclusively told Football FanCast that Wood could top his goalscoring tally from this year should he end up at Villa Park this summer:

"He's awkward to play against. If I'm being critical, not the best at holding the ball up, but very good at flicking on and gets his goals. Strikers that score goals, the amount that he's scored in the Premier League, is a good striker.

"And if he goes to a team that are more creative, he could get a lot of goals."
