# Wolves: Dion Sanderson set for QPR loan

**Wolves youngster Dion Sanderson is ‘close’ to sealing a loan move to the Championship until the end of the season, according to reliable journalist Tim Spiers.**

### The Lowdown: Sanderson not needed at Wolves

The 22-year-old has already been out on loan this season, spending time at Birmingham City and [making 14 starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/384128/Show/Dion-Sanderson) for Lee Bowyer’s side. He was [recalled](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/wolves-teden-mengi-birmingham-sky-bet-championship-willy-boly-b1986312.html) by Wolves earlier this month, and while Bruno Lage may have seen him as a squad option, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

A fresh update suggests that the defender will be making a swift return to the Championship, with a loan move to QPR seemingly in the offing.

### The Latest: Sanderson set for QPR loan

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1485649582025547777?s=20) on Monday afternoon, Spiers confirmed that Sanderson is on the verge of joining QPR, who sit [fourth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table) in the table after an impressive season which has seen them pushing for promotion to the top flight

[The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/live-blogs/transfer-news-live-updates-manchester-united-arsenal-liverpool-chelsea-tottenham-latest-and-more/d38NqEIiEx9f/) journalist outlined: “Dion Sanderson is close to joining promotion-chasing QPR on loan (they’re fourth, two points off second). Told Sheffield United came in with a late loan offer but it’s looking like QPR for the 22-year-old.”

### The Verdict: Shrewd move for Sanderson

It makes perfect sense for Sanderson to be loaned out again, rather than struggling for minutes at Wolves and seeing his development stunted. He has been [hailed](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dion-sanderson-rolls-royce-defender-19933353) as a ‘Rolls-Royce’ player by Sunderland Lee Johnson during a previous loan spell at the Stadium of Light, highlighting his pedigree whenever he is given a chance at senior level.

The young defender may have a long-term future at Molineux, but for the time being it is hard to see him [ousting the likes of](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers) Max Kilman, Conor Coady and Romain Saiss from the starting line-up. Indeed, the 22-year-old [did not feature](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dion-sanderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/495993) in any of Wolves’ three matches since he was recalled from Birmingham, and that was even with Saiss gone to the [Africa Cup of Nations](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/nationalmannschaft/spieler/204198/verein_id/3575).

With QPR pushing for promotion to the Premier League, it would be a great opportunity for Sanderson to test himself in a pressurised situation, looking to make his mark in west London – and indeed on his parent club.
