Sunderland AFC can confirm that Lewis Grabban has returned to AFC Bournemouth.

The player informed SAFC that he no longer wishes to play for the club and as a result, the clubs have mutually agreed to cancel the loan agreement.

Manager Chris Coleman said: “Throughout my time at the football club I have continually reiterated that I only wish to work with players who want to be here and work hard for Sunderland.

“Lewis informed us of his desire to leave and we wish him well.”
