Gray Joins Burnley On Loan

He was expected to join Leeds in a loan move but has instead joined Burnley until the end of the season.

Gray moved to Wearside during the summer from Sheffield United but has failed to make any impact.

Whilst Sunderland are only reporting the deal as a loan, Burnley have revealed that a £750k fee has been agreed to sign the 28-year-old on a three-year permanent deal at the end of the season, once the transfer window re-opens.

However the figure of £1.2m the Black Cats paid for Gray is not accurate as the player has not met any performance targets and Sunderland have not had to stump up any extra cash for the player.
