Sunderland forward Will Grigg could be in line to make his debut for Jack Ross’ side at the weekend.

Will Grigg has told the Chronicle that Sunderland boss Jack Ross has already spoken to him about his role at the Stadium of Light.

Grigg was Sunderland’s marquee signing during the January transfer window, with the striker arriving on a permanent deal from Wigan Athletic.

The Northern Irish international is yet to make his debut for the Black Cats, but could feature at the weekend.

And Grigg said: “The manager has told me all about the team and he wants me to score goals and get promoted – that’s the aim.

“He has made it simple for me, in the box and take the chances that’s my job.”

Grigg almost guarantees Sunderland goals at League One level, as his past record in the third tier is so strong.

Grigg has consistently hit the back of the net with great frequency at Sunderland’s level, and his arrival could put Ross’ side in a strong position to achieve promotion.

Sunderland are currently in fourth place in the League One standings, but they have games in hand over all the teams around them.

Sunderland are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium.
