Leander can play as both a center back and as a defensive midfielder. He was born in Passendale, a small village in the West Flanders province of Belgium. It was in the very same town where he started his youth career. He started to play football for FC Passendale in 2001, when he was six years old. After two years he grabbed the attention of K.S.V. Roeselare, who asked him to join their forces. In 2009 he transferred from K.S.V. Roeselare to one of the biggest clubs of Belgium: R.S.C. Anderlecht. After four years at Anderlecht he finally made his professional debut in the 2013 Belgian Super Cup against Racing Genk. Only a couple of months later he signed a renewed 3-year-contract at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium. He made his debut in the Belgian Pro League on the 1st of August 2014. It was the first game of the season versus KV Oostende. The following years he would become one of the most important players of Anderlecht, playing 125 official games. In August 2018 it was announced that he would move to the newly promoted English Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers on an initial season-long loan, which will become permanent in the summer of 2019. He made his debut for the Wolves in the EFL Cup game against Sheffield Wednesday (2-0 win).
