MK Dons sporting director Liam Sweeting has spoke of his interest in signing Will Grigg this summer.
The Sunderland man faces an uncertain future after falling down the pecking order at the Stadium Of Light, leading to a loan departure during the January transfer window.
During his time with MK Dons, Grigg managed to score eight goals in 20 appearances leading Sweeting to tell MKfm: "Obviously Griggy is a player we think really highly of but he doesn’t belong to us, he belongs to Sunderland.
"We don’t have as much control over that one as we might have another target, but for sure we’ll be informed on that situation."
So should Sunderland look to sell the player amid MK Dons' interest?
The team at FLW have their say...

I think his future could depend on the situation with Charlie Wyke.
Wyke's future at the Stadium of Light remains up in the air heading into the new League One season, with the forward attracting interest from other clubs.
If Sunderland were to lose him, then I think they'll look to keep hold of Grigg, who has shown he can score goals at this level with MK Dons earlier this term.
But if Wyke was to remain with Lee Johnson's side, then it really wouldn't come as a surprise to see them looking to move Grigg on permanently this summer, as they look to free up funds for other areas of their squad.
It's a tough decision for the Black Cats to face though, that's for sure.
