Crystal Palace sign Sunderland forward Wickham

Crystal Palace have signed Connor Wickham from Sunderland on a five-year deal.

The striker moves to Selhurst Park for an undisclosed fee after four years at the Stadium of Light.

Wickham told the club's official site: "I think I needed the fresh start, I had four years up north and it's been a bit stop-start.

Now I've come back home and I can settle down and see my family a bit more and hopefully let my football do the talking."
