Lewis Grabban finalises loan move to Sunderland from Bournemouth

Sunderland have announced the signing of Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban on a season-long loan.

The 29-year-old has moved to the Stadium of Light after failing to hold down a regular spot in the Cherries' first team in the 2016-17 campaign.

Grabban made just three Premier League appearances off the bench and spent half of the season on loan at Reading, where he scored three goals in 15 outings.

The striker returned to Bournemouth in 2016 for a second spell after spending two years at Norwich City.

Grabban is Sunderland's fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Brendan Galloway, Tyias Browning, Aiden McGeady and James Vaughan.
