Defender eyed

Leeds have joined the ‘chase’ to sign Manchester City defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis this summer along with West Ham and Luton Town, according to reporter Alan Nixon on his Patreon page. The England youth international, who is 21-year-old, spent last season on loan at Burnley and helped the Clarets win the Championship title under Vincent Kompany, making 35 appearances in all competitions.

The Stockport-born man has been on the books at the Etihad Stadium for his whole career to date and has made eight first-team appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side. He has also gained experience from other loan spells away from the Premier League champions at Blackburn Rovers, Anderlecht and Stoke City in the past and he weighs up his next move.
