Many of these Newcastle fans are raging at this news and they don’t seem to be happy with how their club approached this transfer.

Newcastle's all-time top Premier League goalscorer is Alan Shearer but how many goals did he score for the club?

Sanderson is currently 21 and spent the previous season on loan at Sunderland. For the Black Cats, he played 26 games in League One and scored one goal during his time there, becoming a regular option for them towards the end of the campaign.

It shows that he could have certainly added some first-team experience to the Newcastle side, who are looking to sell Florian Lejeune this summer. So Sanderson could’ve potentially replaced the defender and losing out on him might be a blow for the club.
