Connor Wickham is weighing up walking out on Sunderland when his contract expires in June.
The Mail on Sunday says Wickham is considering a move abroad to try and recapture the 'Golden Boy tag' that saw him tipped at one time to become the best English striker since Wayne Rooney.
Wickham, still only 21, was watched by every big club in the Premier League including Manchester United and Chelsea as a teenager at Ipswich before joining Sunderland at 18 in a deal that could have reached £8million.
With his contract due to expire in the summer, the strapping 6ft4ins centre-forward is able to negotiate with foreign clubs in the New Year and it's an opportunity he plans to take.
