Wickham seals Palace switch
Posted Tuesday, August 04, 2015 by Foxsports.com
Crystal Palace have completed the signing of striker Connor Wickham on a five-year deal from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.
Wickham joined the Black Cats from Ipswich in 2011 and went on to score 15 goals in 91 appearances, before signing a new four-year deal with the club in December.
However, he has now completed a move to Selhurst Park and admitted that he need a fresh start after four years on Wearside.
"I spoke to the gaffer last week and he said all the right things about the club and I’ve got friends here who also told me some very good things," he told the club's official website.
"I looked at the team before I arrived here and the signings that have been brought in, and the potential to score goals and the chances that could be created was a massive influence. Hopefully I can add to that talent and make the squad stronger.
"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."
