Transfer news: Leeds United sign Connor Wickham on loan from Sunderland
The youngster has struggled to force his way into the Sunderland picture this term
Striker Connor Wickham has joined Sky Bet Championship club Leeds on loan for the rest of the season, Sunderland have announced.
The 20-year-old has completed an emergency move to Elland Road after struggling to force his way into contention at the Stadium of Light since returning from a temporary spell at Sheffield Wednesday, where he scored eight goals in 11 games.
One of Wickham's strikes for the Owls came in a 6-0 derby victory over Leeds last month.
The England Under-21 international could make his debut at QPR on Saturday.
