===Sunderland=== On 29 June 2011, Wickham signed a four-year deal with Premier League club Sunderland for a fee of £8 million.

Following that game, and the important experience Wickham gained, he returned to the England under-19 side. However, it would not be long before he was back in the fold for the under-21s.

On 14 March 2011 it was announced that Wickham had been included in the squad for England's games against Denmark and Iceland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.twtd.co.uk/news.php?storyid=18065|title=Wickham in England U21 Squad – Ipswich Town News|access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref> He came on as a substitute in the game against Denmark, which England went on to win 4–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/sturridge-stands-out-as-england-romp-to-40-victory-2252547.html|title=Sturridge stands out as England romp to 4–0 victory|website=Independent.co.uk |date=25 March 2011|access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref> The following Monday, Wickham started the game in a friendly against Iceland at Deepdale in Preston. It was his first start for the under-21s, and he played the full 90 minutes as England lost the game 2–1 to a very strong Iceland side that included a number of first team regulars. Wickham played as a lone striker in the game.

Prior to the Iceland game, Wickham admitted that he was hopeful of being included in the squad that would play in the summer's Euro 2011 under-21s tournament due to take place in June. Having been an instrumental figure in the success of the under-17's the previous summer, he felt he could repeat the feat at a higher level. He said:

{{Cquote|It would be another summer tournament, and I want to win another tournament. It'll be different, but if we play to the potential that is in our team we are capable of beating anyone on our day. All the boys have taken me as part of the team and have treated me no differently to anyone else. They are a great bunch of lads and I'd be happy to spend the summer with them. Even just to be selected would be brilliant but to win it would be better. I don't see why we can't go on and really push this summer to win the tournament.|||Connor Wickham|<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/England/mens-under-21s/News/match-centre/2011/EnglandIceland/Match-Previews/connor-wickham|title=The website for the English football association, the Emirates FA Cup and the England football team|first=The Football|last=Association|website=www.thefa.com|access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref> }}
