Joe Anderson is on his way to Sunderland to undergo a medical and discuss terms after Everton accepted a bid for the defender.
Stalybridge-born Anderson joined Everton at the age of 15, but the ECHO understands Anderson has been granted permission to travel to the North East as a move to the Stadium of Light moves closer after a bid was accepted on Sunday morning.
Anderson signed a new two-year contract with Everton back in July 2022 to keep him at the club until the end of June 2024, however with him yet to make a first-team appearance, his time at Goodison Park looks to be coming to an end.
