Connor Wickham completes move to Crystal Palace from Sunderland

Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Connor Wickham from Sunderland on a five-year deal.

Manager Alan Pardew confirmed at the weekend that he was interested in adding the striker to his squad before the close of the transfer window in September.

The Premier League outfit announced on Twitter that a deal has been finalised, but they have opted against disclosing the fee, which is believed to be in the region of £6m, according to The Mirror.

The 22-year-old, who scored 15 goals for the Black Cats, moved to the Stadium of Light from Ipswich Town four years ago.

In total, Wickham made 91 appearances for the North-East outfit.
