Sunderland are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth forward Lewis Grabban.
The 29-year-old forward first joined Bournemouth in 2012 from Rotherham United. In two seasons at the club, he scored 35 goals for the Cherries.
He again rejoined the club in the January transfer window of 2015 after a brief spell with Norwich.
The former Crystal Palace striker spent the last season on loan at Reading, where he scored three goals in 16 games for the Championship club.

Grabban has three years left on his current deal at Bournemouth, but he is not in the first team plans of his manager, Eddie Howe.
The report claims that Howe has more or less sanctioned his exit following the arrival of Jermain Defoe this summer.
He will be allowed to leave the club, provided the Cherries receive a suitable offer for him.
Sunderland have added four players to their ranks with James Vaughan, Aiden McGeady, Tyias Browning, and Brendan Galloway joining this summer.
According to reports from The Sunderland Echo, the Black Cats are also reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth’s Marc Wilson, who can play in defence or midfield.
