Gus Poyet has vowed to cash in on Sunderland striker
Connor Wickham if he refuses to sign a new contract.
The 21-year-old played an integral role in keeping the
club in the Premier League last season, scoring five goals in three games in
April as Sunderland pulled off a great escape.
Wickham, who had loans spells with Championship sides
Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United in the 2013-14 campaign, has just a year
left on his contract and is yet to agree a fresh deal.
Sunderland head coach Poyet has warned the former Ipswich
Town man that he will be sold if no agreement is reached.
"There is nothing in between. He is an asset to the
football club and we paid a lot of money for him.
"Last year, he was a key part of us staying up and
he was very important but he needs to realise that the club needs to look after
the interests of the football club as well. I suppose that, one way or the
other, we are going to have an agreement.
"Which one of those [two outcomes] is going to
happen, I don't know -- it is not my job. That is (sporting director) Lee
Congerton's department."
