Mitrovic is set to leave Newcastle after failing to win over Rafa Benitez during his time at the club, with his temperament on the pitch becoming a big issue.

The forward has been involved in too many on the field incidents during his time at Newcastle, making him a liability on the pitch.

He will now look to rebuild his reputation during the second half of the season at Anderlecht, before potentially returning to Newcastle next season.
