New Zealand captain Wood (33) just signed a two-year contract extension with Forest.
Bindon has now made over 70 Reading appearances, and according to media sources, his development is being monitored by English Premier League clubs Arsenal and Leicester City, as well as English Championship clubs Blackburn Rovers, Watford, Hull City, and Coventry City.
His contract had less than six months left, and Reading were reportedly under financial pressure to entertain bids for Bindon and other form players before the transfer market closed on Tuesday, February 4 (NZT).
