Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa have been linked with Bournemouth-owned Sunderland striker Lewis Grabban, and Thomas Christiansen’s Leeds United should join the chase.
Lewis Grabban has been in brilliant form for Sunderland so far this season, and it does not come as a surprise that the Bournemouth-owned striker has been linked with Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 29-year-old forward has scored 11 goals in 16 starts in the Championship for Sunderland so far this season, having joined the Black Cats on a season-long loan deal from Premier League outfit Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.
According to The Birmingham Mail, the former Crystal Palace man, who can also operate as a winger, is expected to be recalled by Bournemouth in the January transfer window and then sold, with Wolverhampton Wanderers interested in him.
According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 65, December 10, 2017), Aston Villa are keen on making a move Grabban in January (click here to read more).
Leeds United should join the race for Grabban and at least make enquiries about his availability in the January transfer window.
Given the forward’s scintillating form so far this season and his experience in the Championship, he would be a great signing for Leeds, and the club’s director of football Victor Orta should look into the possibility of signing him.
Grabban is scoring goals regularly for a Sunderland side that are in the Championship bottom three.
With players such as Samuel Saiz and Ezgjan Alioski creating chances for him, the 29-year-old could score the goals for Leeds that help them cement their place in the playoffs.
