Manchester City defender Philippe Sandler is wanted by Blackburn Rovers.

The Sun says the 24-year-old has been hit with injuries since signing from PEC Zwolle and was loaned to Anderlecht.

The loan could happen in the next few days if Sandler signs a new deal at the Etihad first.

Sandler arrived at City back in 2018.

However, he has yet to make a first-team appearance in the Premier League for Pep Guardiola's side.

He headed out Belgian giants Anderlecht on loan during the 2019/20 campaign.

The Holland U20 international Sandler played nine top-flight matches for them.

And now he could be heading to the Championship for more action under Tony Mowbray.
