Chris Wood has really gone under the radar. Scored 14 Premier League goals in a Burnley team that doesn't create a huge number of chances.
Context: Raul Jimenez got 17 goals in 38 PL apps. Considered one of the best strikers in the league.
Wood got 14 in 32 for a worse team.

Jimenez also scored four penalties to Wood's one.
Selection of players who didn't outscore Wood this season: Jesus, Richarlison, Lacazette, Firmino... De Bruyne.
Only Ings scored more goals than Wood and finished lower in the table.

Chris Wood scored the first goal in 11 Premier League games this season.
Beaten only by Ings (18!!! amazing) and Aubameyang (12 - also played more games than Wood) on that key stat.

TLDR: Wood is quietly excellent. If I was in charge of transfers at a 'big club' he would be on my radar for sure.
A potential 20-goal striker in a team with elite service. Cost only £15m from Leeds three years ago. Absolute bargain.

One last tweet on this thread (probably - slow day...)
Wood is so under-rated that plenty of Burnley fans still don't like him. Someone on here wanted him dropped a couple of weeks ago!
He also leads the league in one stat: offsides (35).
