Wickham is inside the final year of his current deal and The Journal says Leicester City, Crystal Palace and Stoke City are all monitoring the former England under-21's availability.
It is understood Leicester are ready to table a £5million bid to try and prise the striker from the Stadium of Light - and the reaction of the Cats hierarchy will be telling.
