Sunderland Transfers: 7 Players To Replace Connor Wickham

4. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (Schalke 04)

Of all the strikers on this list, Schalke's Choupo-Moting would be the most like-for-like replacement for Connor Wickham. Standing a very broad 6'3", he shares Wickham's imposing stature and old-fashioned centre forward's build. Hopefully, if Sunderland were to sign the Cameroon international, he would prove more adapt at actually using his strength on the pitch. The German-born striker has enjoyed a decent first season for Schalke, scoring 9 league goals over the course of the 2014/15 campaign, but has never truly replicated his impressive international form in domestic competition. He would, however, be a natural fit for the Premier League, given his physical presence and direct dribbling style.
