The 29-year-old has moved to Molineux after playing just once for the Black Cats this season and head coach Kenny Jackett turned to the former Middlesbrough and Swansea frontman to end his search for a regular goalscorer.

Graham will stay with Wolves until December 31 and will link up with his new club on Monday.

He told the club's official site: "Wolves is a good club which has done very well over the last year and this is a good opportunity for me to try and play some regular football and get back to scoring goals."

Graham has not scored for the Black Cats in 14 games since a £5m move from Swansea in January 2013 and went on loan to Hull and first club Middlesbrough last season.

Wolves could be without Nouha Dicko and Bakary Sako in January and February if Mali qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations and have been looking for extra firepower.

Sagbo returned to Hull this week after failing to score in four games during his loan spell while Jackett has also turned to Academy product Liam McAlinden in recent weeks.

Wolves are ninth in the Sky Bet Championship and Jackett believes Graham can help their promotion push.

"We feel this is a very good move for us," Jackett told the club's official site.

"He has the goalscoring record that we are looking for and experience of playing up front in the Championship.

"With our forward line he brings another dimension now with his experience and goalscoring record.

"We look forward to him starting with us on Monday morning and working with the squad towards the Nottingham Forest game."
