Wolverhampton Wanderers are at risk of seeing Cardiff City loanee Dion Sanderson leave Molineux with a year left on his contract.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are at risk of losing highly-rated defender Dion Sanderson, with the Mail reporting that his impressive performances on loan at Cardiff City have caught the eye of rival Premier League clubs.
While Wolves have worked tirelessly to add some of Europe’s most talented youngsters to their academy in the last two years or so, a homegrown talent could be on his way out of Molineux sooner rather than later.
20-year-old Sanderson is set to become a free agent at the end of next season and, if Nuno Espirito Santo is not prepared to offer him a first-team opportunity, there are other Premier League managers who will.
The Mail reports that a number of top flight clubs are keeping tabs on the Wednesfield-born youngster as his contract runs down.
Sanderson has offered a tantalising glimpse of his potential since joining Cardiff on loan in January, earning plenty of praise from manager Neil Harris before keeping Brenford’s feted £30 million talisman Said Benrahma on the periphery during a 2-2 draw at Griffin Park on Saturday.
The report does not make clear which Premier League clubs are interested in raiding Molineux over the summer but a new right-back is certainly required at the likes of Crystal Palace, West Ham United and, if Max Aarons goes, Norwich City too.
Then again, Wolves are hardly overloaded with right-sided defensive options so Sanderson might have a role to play as Matt Doherty’s understudy next season.
