Just looked at the paper talk on, why would Sunderland want to sale Connor Wickham who we are apparently being linked with. good player so why would Sunderland want to get rid off. any ideas anyone. Would not say No! though.

Sunderland want to raise funds to purchase Borini. So need to sell first.

Also, he's into his last year of contract, so it may not be a case of them wanting the sell; more like they need to in order to get any real funds for him (although due to age they world get a tribunal fee, but this would not be as much as if they were to sell him). Hope that helps.
