Sunderland's Connor Wickham off to Crystal Palace

Sunderland are reported to have on a summer fee for the sale of striker Connor Wickham to Crystal Palace.

The talented frontman joined the Black Cats from Championship side Ipswich Town in 2011, and has since then been in and out of the first-team.

The 22-year-old often played in a deeper role under Dick Advocaat, and did not get much game time towards the back end of the campaign.

Sunderland Echo cites that the Eagles are set to discuss terms with the young striker, after they agree a £10m fee for his transfer.

Wickham scored just 11 goals in 79 league outings for the Wearside outfit.
