Everton have confirmed that Joe Anderson has completed a permanent transfer to Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.
The ECHO reported on Sunday morning that the Blues had accepted a bid from the Championship side and that Anderson had been allowed to travel to the North East for further talks and a medical.
Versatile at left-back and in central defence, Anderson, who joined Everton’s Academy at the age of 15, was a regular for the Blues’ under-21s side. He featured on 62 occasions for first David Unsworth and then Paul Tait.
