Albions New Zealand international not going out on loan

West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo will not allow young striker Chris Wood out on loan until the Baggies are suitably covered in attack, reports the Express & Star. Speculation is growing that the 18 year old New Zealand international, who played for his country at this summer's World Cup, is a target for Championship club Barnsley.

The head coach said: "Chris has only just got back from the World Cup, so at the moment he's not going anywhere.

"We've had a lot of requests for him, but with our situation he's not going anywhere just yet."
