Move not ruled out as loan star Dion is 'top, top player'
Derby Telegraph
|November 28, 2025
JOHN Eustace has not ruled out making a permanent move for Derby County loanee Dion Sanderson as he praised the Birmingham City defender for the impact he has made at Pride Park Stadium.
Sanderson has been in sensational form for the Rams since signing on a season-long loan in the summer and has been a key part of a defence.
The centre-back appears to have no future at Blues under Chris Davies and Eustace wasted no time in signing the 25-year-old, a move that has been handsomely rewarded.
When asked whether the loan move could be made permanent, Eustace said: “Possibly, for sure.
“I think he’s done fantastically well. I obviously know Dion from my QPR days, Birmingham days, Blackburn days, so I know the kind of character he is.
“He's a top, top, player in my opinion when fully fit. He's been proving that throughout this season now, his performances have been excellent and, most importantly, he’s a really good human being.
“He's another great character to have in the group and his performances have been getting better and better.
