Wickham this afternoon completed his move to the Black Cats, for a deal set to rise to �12million based on various clauses. Town will receive an intial down payment of �8.1m.
Speaking today, Clegg enthused: “It’s an historic day for the football club, in terms of the record breaking transfer deal that we have been able to conclude.
“It’s tinged with a degree of sadness, that we are losing one of our home-grown talents, but it’s fantastic to see him moving onto Premier League football.”
