Manchester City Sign Dutch defender :Philippe Sandler

Manchester City have completed the

signing of another talented youngster in

the shape of Dutch defender Philippe

Sandler.

The Netherlands youth international has 

joined the Premier League champions for 

a fee reportedly in the region of £2.5 

million.

The 21-year-old, a product of Ajax's 

famous youth system, is expected to 

provide cover for Vincent Kompany, John 

Stones, Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric 

Laporte at centre-back, although he can 

also play in midfield.

Speaking in March ahead of his 

impending 

move, Sandler said: "I heard that scouts 

from Manchester City were watching me, 

but you do not expect as a player to go 

from PEC Zwolle to City.

"The best manager in the world, Pep 

Guardiola, is currently in charge there, and 

he can teach me a lot, and also the style 

in 

which they play football attracts me a lot."

Meanwhile, City have allowed 19-year-old 

goalkeeper Aro Muric to join Eredivisie 

side NAC Breda on a season-long loan.

City also announced that 21-year-old 

midfielder Bersant Celina has joined 

Swansea City on a permanent deal, worth 

a reported £3 million.
