NetherlandsPlayer Info
Philippe Sandler is a Dutch central defender who combines physical stature with technical quality, currently playing for NEC Nijmegen in the Eredivisie. Standing at 188cm tall, the 29-year-old is a modern center-back, comfortable in possession and strong in the tackle. With a market value of €2 million, Sandler's career has seen him develop at Manchester City's academy and feature for clubs like Anderlecht and Feyenoord, giving him experience in top European leagues. His time at City, albeit with limited first-team appearances, was crucial for his tactical development.
