How to join chain link and wooden fence

fence

A tree fell and destroyed one corner of the chain link fence between my neighbor's yard and my yard. The neighbor replaced their portion of the fence with a wooden fence, but their new fence isn't aligned with my fence anymore (I assume they were worried about building it too close to the ditch running behind our houses). So now there's about a 5 foot gap between the end of my chain link fence and the outside corner of their wooden fence.

What are my options to fill that gap? Should I just put a metal post as close to that corner as I can? Or can I attach the chain link fence directly to the wooden post somehow (assuming the neighbor is ok with that)? How do I connect the tension bar to the wooden post?

I would use the metal post designed to work with the chain link fence, however, here is a youTube example of how to attach chain link to wood. As you can see, it does not look particularly great.
