Davide Santon's girlfriend has launched a scathing attack on Newcastle United, accusing them of forcing the defender out of the club.

Chloe Sanderson, who has a child with the Italian, also claimed the club only care about money and that the treat supporters “like s***.”

Santon looks set to join his former club Inter Milan on transfer deadline day on loan until the end of the season, but it does appear that he’s played his last game for the club.

And his better half was not going to allow this to end quietly.

On her Twitter account, which has pictures of her with Santon, Sanderson wrote: “Just to put it out there, Davide declined Inter Milan’s first offer but was pushed out by Newcastle United to leave..”

In a series of tweets - which have now been deleted - she made a series of digs against Newcastle.

She said: “This is not just a loan, it’s a loan with obligation to buy...

“Newcastle as good as told him if he stayed he didn’t have a place in the team.

“They tried to deny it this morning, to keep it on the down low... so other teams wouldn’t put in an offer for JUST a loan, because Davide would have preferred that. To stay in the premier league, but Newcastle would have lost the guaranteed buy and money.

“They are a business not a club. And as long as they keep losing players with the passion davide had..they are killing nufc, and killing the support from the fans who stick around after all the s***.”

She then followed that up by saying: “Disgusted with how Davide has been treated, fully fit for a while now with no chance to play- a club whose only intentions are to make ££.”

United sources refute the claims, which have now been taken down from her social media site. While he is understood to have been told he wasn't a guaranteed first choice, United insist he was not forced out.
