4. Professional career

In 2011, Wood began playing for 1860 Munich with which he would continue until 2015 when he was sent on loan to Erzgebirge Aue. 9 goals and three goals later, he was sold to Union Berlin in the same year. In 21 games for the club, he netted 17 goals and was sold to Hamburger SV in 2016. He remained with the team until 2018 when he was sent on loan to Hannover 96.

While it has been asked whether he is good enough to play for the United States national team, Bobby Wood has contributed his fair share thus far to both the States and his club. To that effect, his market value is presently put at $1.71m to $2 million, which is quite low.

In 2016, his move to Hamburger SV on a four-year deal was valued at $3.5 million. At the time, he was also linked to a move to a number of other clubs. He was offered a contract extension with the team in 2017 and is expected to remain there until 2021.
