Lee Johnson has opened the door to a January departure for Will Grigg, according to the Sunderland Echo.
The Sunderland striker has endured a frustrating time since moving to the Stadium Of Light in January 2019.
Since then he has struggled for form and fitness, scoring just nine goals in the two years that he has spent with the League One club.
Reports from Football Insider have claimed that Salford City, MK Dons and Shrewsbury Town are all interested in a move for the 29-year-old this month, and according to the Black Cats' boss, there's every chance that Grigg could move on.
As quoted by the Sunderland Echo, Johnson said: "I'm fine in terms of, I have had discussions with Will and I think he feels it hasn't gone as well as he'd hoped it would in the last 18 months.
