Sunderland striker Connor Wickham has shown off a new chest tattoo to his fans on Instagram.

The 21-year-old took to social media to show the design, which reads 'luis quos amo deserviam', which translates as 'for those I love I will sacrifice'.

Along with the image, Wickham posted the message: "Huge thanks to John Lewis at @lifeanddeathtattoos for his work today #caughtthebug."

Wickham has received plenty of plaudits for his performances on the pitch after scoring five goals in his last three games.
