Ipswich have accepted a bid of £9m from Sunderland for striker Connor Wickham, BBC Sport understands. Wickham, 18, could be a Sunderland player in 24 hours, subject to agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
The deal for the England Under-21 international, who made his Ipswich debut aged 16, could eventually be worth £12.5m with add-ons. He has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Liverpool. His future has been in doubt despite the fact that he extended his contract with Ipswich until 2014 in April.
Wickham was included in the England squad for the European Under-21 Championship but he did not make an appearance.
That'll do nicely
