BBC sports news correspondent<\/span><\/span> \"Connor Wickham was in the England Under-21 squad for the European Championship<\/span> <\/p>\n

Sunderland have made an offer thought to be in the region of \u00a38m for Ipswich’s highly rated striker Connor Wickham, the BBC understands.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Wickham is regarded as one of the game’s brightest talents and was in England’s Under-21 squad for the European Championship in Denmark.<\/p>\n

Sunderland are also in talks with midfielder Sebastian Larsson, 26.<\/p>\n

The Swedish international was released by Birmingham<\/a> following their relegation from the Premier League.<\/a><\/p>\n

Wickham’s future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, despite the teenager extending his contract until 2014 back in April.<\/a><\/p>\n

He became Town’s youngest ever player at the age of 16 years and 11 days, coming off the bench in a 3-1 defeat to Doncaster in April 2009.<\/p>\n

Since then, Wickham has gone on to make 33 starts and 32 substitute appearances in the Championship, scoring 13 times.<\/p>\n

He made his mark on the international stage last summer, scoring the winning goal as England defeated Spain 2-1 in the final of the European Under-17 Championship.<\/a><\/p>\n

More to follow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
