Wickham scores thrilling goal for Ipswich<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ipswich have accepted a bid of \u00a39m from Sunderland for striker Connor Wickham, BBC Sport understands.<\/p>\n

Wickham, 18, could be a Sunderland player in 24 hours, subject to agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.<\/p>\n

The deal for the England Under-21 international, who made his Ipswich debut aged 16, could eventually be worth \u00a312.5m with add-ons.<\/p>\n

He has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

His future has been in doubt despite the fact that he extended his contract with Ipswich until 2014 in April.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Wickham was part of England squad for the European Under-21 Championship, although he did not play a match.<\/p>\n

Since joining Ipswich as a trainee in July 2008 he has made 33 starts and 32 substitute appearances in the Championship, scoring 13 times.<\/p>\n

In May 2010 Wickham helped England to victory in the European Under-17 Championship,<\/a> scoring the winning goal as they beat Spain 2-1 in the final.<\/p>\n

Ipswich manager Paul Jewell said last week<\/a> that he expected a lot of interest in Wickham over the summer but that the club were under no pressure to sell.<\/p>\n

Jewell said: “We don’t want to sell Connor Wickham, but if he wants to leave and the right offer comes in then we’ll have to consider it.<\/p>\n

“But until then – Connor’s never given me any indication he wants to leave – our backs aren’t against the wall, we’re in control of the situation.”<\/p>\n

It was thought Liverpool were the favourites to sign Wickham and they have made inquiries, but have so far failed to make a big enough offer.<\/p>\n

Sunderland’s fresh bid, however, is believed to be sufficient for the Championship club to let him leave and he could be heading to Wearside for talks.<\/p>\n

Ipswich announced the signing<\/a> of former West Bromwich Albion and Watford striker Nathan Ellington last week. They have also bought Michael Chopra from Cardiff City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
