Philippe Sandler

A young promising defender who has been playing for PEC Zwolle this season. Sandler has played for most part of his youth for Ajax, but was eventually signed off for unspecified reasons.

He has developed himself spectacularly this season, and is being compared to Van Dijk with his playing style. Extremely accurating in his passing and quite mature in his playing.

This news comes as a shock in the Netherlands though because both AZ and PSV were trying to sign him this transfer period.

He is being regarded as one of Holland's most talented defender at the moment.

Cheers for that, maybe he is actually being thought of as a first team squad fast track option next season, if he is already playing in the top league there.

Is he fast ?
 
What is his biggest weaknesses? Do you think he has a chance of making our first team?

He has an air of arrogance when he is playing, which has led to a couple of mistakes last season, but he has improved ever since.

He has the talent to be a top-notch Dutch defender, and could definitely succeed at City if he gets the proper guidance.

The reactions in Holland at this transfer are quite negative though because the sentiment is that another Dutch top talent has been prematurely signed by a European topclub .

His personal manager is Mino Raiola by the way. A rather controversial figure in the sports because of his dominance and negotiation tactics. Ibrahimovic and Pogba are also in his portfolio.
 
"Manchester City have agreed a €3m (£2.6m) fee with PEC Zwolle for Netherlands U20 centre-back Philippe Sandler (20), who will remain at PEC on loan for the rest of the season. Sandler is undergoing a medical in Manchester."

...? Any idea who this is?
After searching YouTube and Dutch sites he's not great, but looks badly coached. Doubt he'll make the first team but we might make a few quid.
 
I have seen some highlights from games he has played, but I have not seen a video of just him
So what you want is a highlight video showing his best moments? Ignore them and watch him play as part of a team.
