The former Ipswich Town and England Under-21 international moves to Selhurst Park on a five-year deal, having signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal with Sunderland in December, 2014.
Wickham becomes Alan Pardew's fourth summer signing, and second striker, following the arrivals of loanee Patrick Bamford, Yohan Cabaye and Alex McCarthy.
BREAKING: #CPFC are delighted to announce the signing of @ConnorWickham10 on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee. pic.twitter.com/g1pY9h6neV— Crystal Palace FC (@CPFC) August 3, 2015"I looked at the team before I arrived here and the signings that have been brought in, and the potential to score goals and the chances that could be created was a massive influence. Hopefully I can add to that talent and make the squad stronger.
"I think I needed the fresh start, I had four years up north and it’s been a bit stop-start. Now I’ve come back home and I can settle down and see my family a bit more and hopefully let my football do the talking."
