Brilliant signing for Sunderland

Grigg has made 10 starts and six substitute appearances in the Championship for Wigan so far this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

The 27-year-old striker is not having the best of times this season, but the Northern Ireland international has a brilliant record at the League One level.

According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the striker scored 19 goals and provided four assists in 43 League One appearances for Wigan during the 2017-18 season.
