Only fit to make 12 appearances for Carlos Corberan’s Baggies in the league last season, with just a paltry goal to show for his efforts, the former Sunderland youngster has now managed to register four goals from four league games to help his side sit pretty in second spot.
As much as West Brom are now showing the benefits of exercising patience with Maja, they didn’t quite have the same levels of perseverance with this former attacker when he was starting out as a raw youngster, who has since gone on to become a goalscoring menace away from the Hawthorns.
Chris Wood’s time at West Brom
Chris Wood, who is now a household name to Premier League fans with Nottingham Forest among the many other top-flight clubs he’s lined up for, might now be forgotten about as ever being a ex-West Brom player, having only gone on to make 27 appearances for the West Midlands side.
The 74-time New Zealand international wasn’t exactly a hit for the Baggies either, only managing to find the back of the net three times during his short stay with the club.
But, with a promising six assists also managed across these games, West Brom would cash in on their unpolished gem in 2012 when Leicester City bid £1.25m for the centre-forward’s services.
