New striker can't wait to get started... New loan signing Connor Wickham is hoping to play his part in firing Leeds United towards the Play-Off places.
The England Under-21 international has joined the club from Sunderland on loan until the end of the season, and says he can’t wait to get started.
“I need to be playing football,” said the striker, who scored eight goals in 11 games while on loan at Sheffield Wednesday earlier this season.
“I’d been playing at Wednesday and I knew there was some interest in me, but I just needed to focus on playing football.
“Once I heard Leeds were interested in signing me there were no other choices and no doubt I wanted to come.
“I played against Leeds earlier this season with Sheffield Wednesday. The potential here is big. There are some players here that I know already, and the team is looking to push towards the Play-Offs. Hopefully I can help with that.
“I just want to play football and do the best I can, and hopefully push the team into the promotion picture.”
