Sunderland<\/a> manager Steve Bruce<\/a> has expressed his joy in securing the services of Connor Wickham<\/a> and believes the club’s fans are in for a treat.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old joins the Black Cats from Ipswich after penning a four-year contract, and Bruce is excited about the side’s future with the talented teen \u2013 named the Football League’s Young Player of the Year last season \u2013 on board.<\/p>\n

He told the club’s official website: “A number of top sides have been chasing Connor for some time now, so naturally we are absolutely delighted he has chosen to come to Sunderland.”

Former Wigan boss Bruce hopes the striker’s stature can add something to his side.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>“He’s still very young, but at 6ft 3in he’s a physical presence,” Bruce continued. “With his height and style of play, he will offer us a threat in front of goal and complement our existing strikers.
<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have been watching him for a while now and he is improving and developing all the time. He’s a great prospect and I’m sure our supporters will love watching him play.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
