Grabban joins Sunderland on loan

AFC Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban has joined Sunderland on a season-long loan.

The switch will see him eligible for all of the Black Cats' Championship fixtures, including play-off matches if required.  

The 29-year-old was loaned to Reading earlier in the year, making 19 appearances and netting three goals as the Royals narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in May. 

Grabban currently has 22 Cherries appearances to his name since re-signing for the club from Norwich in 2016.
